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 not vacated the rental unit at the time of the hearing.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective May 31, 2021. The tenants must pay $8,947.02 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date and the cost of filing the application. The tenants can void the eviction order by paying $9,832 on or before February 28, 2021 or $13,309 on or before May 31, 2021.
