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 of Termination, which the Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Tenant had vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective February 1, 2021. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $4,136, which includes rent arrears up to February 1, 2021 and the application filing fee. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by November 20, 2021, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
