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 March 31, 2022. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $35,000 for rent arrears and compensation, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $65.75 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting February 19, 2022 until they move out, and $186 for the application filing fee. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by March 31, 2022, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance starting April 1, 2022. If the unit is not vacated by March 31, 2022, the Landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
