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 Tenant is deceased as of August 11, 2022.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective September 10, 2022, the date the Tenant is deemed to have vacated the rental unit due to their death. The Tenant's estate is ordered to pay $5,270.76 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date, the cost of filing the application, and unpaid NSF charges, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit.
