What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent and persistent late payment of rent. The application was filed after serving valid Notices to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice) and Persistent Late Payment (N8 Notice), which the tenants did not void by paying the arrears. The property ownership transferred to a Potential Party during the application process.

The ruling

The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $3,351.00, which includes two months' rent arrears and the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by July 22, 2023, interest will start to accrue at 6.0% annually on the outstanding balance. The Landlord's L2 Application is dismissed.
