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 vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective December 5, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $1,564.61, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to November 24, 2021, plus $7.69 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting November 25, 2021 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 December 5, 2021, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2.00% annually on the balance outstanding. If the unit is not vacated by December 5, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement.
