What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants 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 tenants did not void by paying the arrears. The tenants had vacated the rental unit on September 8, 2022, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 31, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $10,981.30 in rent arrears and compensation, plus $15.68 per day starting July 21, 2021 until they vacate. The Tenants must also pay the $186 application fee. If the full amount is not paid by July 31, 2021, the Tenants will owe interest and the Landlord can file the order for enforcement.
