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 February 28, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $1,595.00, which includes rent arrears up to February 28, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing by February 28, 2021, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2.00% annually on the balance outstanding. If the unit is not vacated by February 28, 2021, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced.
