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 vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective May 15, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $9,915.75, which includes rent arrears and compensation up to May 4, 2021, less the rent deposit. The Tenants must also pay $32.56 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting May 5, 2021 until they move out. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by May 15, 2021, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by May 15, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
