Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after the Tenant failed to meet the conditions specified in a previous order issued by the Board.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective February 5, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $5,174.42, which includes rent arrears up to January 25, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $36 per day in compensation for use of the unit starting January 26, 2021 until the Tenant vacates. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by February 5, 2021, the Tenant will owe interest on the outstanding balance.
