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 had not vacated the rental unit by the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective April 10, 2021. The tenant must pay the landlord $9,969.41, which includes rent arrears up to March 30, 2021, NSF cheque charges, and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenant must also pay $44.45 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting March 31, 2021 until the tenant vacates. If the tenant does not pay the full amount by April 10, 2021, the tenant will start owing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by April 10, 2021, the landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
