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 landlord sold the property during the proceedings, so they are no longer seeking termination, only an order for arrears.

The ruling

The tenant is ordered to pay the landlord $669.11, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to the date the landlord sold the property. The tenant must also pay the $186 application fee. If the full amount is not paid by October 9, 2021, the tenant will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
