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 prior to the hearing date.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective April 19, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $8,644.77, which includes rent arrears up to April 8, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $27.95 per day for compensation for use of the unit from April 9, 2021 until the Tenant moves out, as well as the $186 application filing fee. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by April 19, 2021, the Tenant will owe interest and the Landlord can file the order for enforcement of the eviction.
