What happened

Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to non-payment of rent, as well as for other reasons such as illegal acts, safety concerns, and inconsistent use of the rental unit. The Tenant did not attend the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy between the Landlords and the Tenant terminated on January 31, 2020. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlords $3,975.45, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to January 31, 2020, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant is also ordered to pay the Landlords $190.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by November 1, 2020, the Tenant will start to owe interest at a simple interest rate of 5% from October 21, 2020.
