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 January 26, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $5,465.82, which includes rent arrears up to January 15, 2021 and charges related to NSF cheques, minus the $6,240.00 the Tenants paid after the application was filed. The Tenants must also pay $43.89 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting January 16, 2021 until they move out, and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount owing by January 26, 2021, they will start to owe interest at 2.00% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by January 26, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) for enforcement.
