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 tenants had vacated the rental unit on May 31, 2020, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective May 31, 2020, the date the Tenants vacated the rental unit. The Tenants shall pay the Landlord $5,548.39, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to May 31, 2020, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The Tenants shall also pay the Landlord $190.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by June 19, 2021, they will owe interest at 2.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
