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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 6, 2020. The tenant must pay the landlord $2,556.77, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenant can void the order and continue the tenancy by paying $4,075 by October 31, 2020 or $5,275 by November 6, 2020.
