What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. The Landlord also applied to terminate the tenancy due to substantial interference, but this application was moot as the Tenants had already vacated the rental unit.

The ruling

The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenants terminated on June 26, 2021, the date the Tenants vacated the rental unit. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $3,378.32, which represents the amount of rent owing and compensation up to June 26, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit. The Tenants are also ordered to pay the Landlord $201.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount owing by November 5, 2022, they will start to owe interest at 4.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
