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 had not vacated the rental unit as of the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective January 31, 2022, and the Tenants were ordered to pay $15,000 in rent arrears by March 1, 2022. If the payment was not made by the due date, the Tenants would start owing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. The Landlord was granted the right to file the order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) for eviction if the unit was not vacated by February 1, 2022.
