What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice), which the Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Tenant had not vacated the rental unit at the time of the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective February 4, 2022. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $1,935.78, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to January 24, 2022, plus $35.47 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting January 25, 2022 until the Tenant moves out. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing by February 4, 2022, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2.00% annually on the balance outstanding. If the unit is not vacated by February 4, 2022, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) for enforcement.
