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 not vacated the rental unit by the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective March 1, 2022. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $2,179.37, which includes rent arrears up to February 18, 2022 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit. The Tenant must also pay $27.95 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting February 19, 2022 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by March 1, 2022, the Tenant will start owing interest and the Landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
