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 ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective February 14, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $10,253.70, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to February 3, 2021, less the rent deposit. The Tenants must also pay $36.94 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting February 4, 2021 until they move out, and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by February 14, 2021, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by February 14, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
