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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective February 9, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $301.18, which includes rent arrears up to January 29, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $29.06 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting January 30, 2021 until the Tenant moves out, and $175 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by February 9, 2021, the Tenant will start owing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
