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 February 13, 2022. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $451.52, which includes rent arrears up to February 2, 2022, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $35.72 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting February 3, 2022 until the Tenant moves out, and $186 for the application filing fee. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by February 13, 2022, the Tenant will owe interest on the outstanding balance.
