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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 23, 2020. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $35,000, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by the due dates, interest will accrue and the Landlord may file the order for enforcement.
