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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 5, 2021. The tenants must pay $5,080.12 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to December 15, 2020 and the application filing fee, minus the $4,342 the tenants paid after the application was filed. The tenants must also pay $32.49 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting December 16, 2020 until they move out. If the tenants do not pay the full amount by January 5, 2021, the landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
