What happened

Landlords 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 as of the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 21, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlords $11,706.85, which includes rent arrears up to August 10, 2021, compensation, and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by August 21, 2021, the Tenant will owe interest and the Landlords can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
