What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants 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 tenants did not void by paying the arrears. The tenants were in possession of the rental unit when the application was filed.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective September 11, 2021. The tenants must pay the landlord $9,641.20, which includes rent arrears up to August 31, 2021 and the application fee, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenants must also pay $88.77 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting September 1, 2021 until they move out. If the full amount is not paid by September 11, 2021, the landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
