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 tenant had vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 5, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $671.76, which includes rent arrears up to December 14, 2020 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $15.44 per day for compensation for use of the unit from December 15, 2020 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by January 5, 2021, the Tenant will owe interest and the Landlord can file the order for enforcement.
