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 was not present at the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 1, 2021. The tenant must pay the landlord $3,587.64, which includes rent arrears, compensation, and application filing fees, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The tenant can void the eviction order by paying $4,710.40 on or before July 31, 2021, or $5,399.60 on or before August 1, 2021.
