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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 24, 2021. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $5,551.39, which includes rent arrears up to July 13, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by July 24, 2021, they will start owing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by July 24, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
