What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to their failure to pay rent. The Landlord served a valid Notice of Termination, and the Tenants vacated the rental unit on March 31, 2020, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective March 31, 2020, the date the Tenants vacated the rental unit. The Tenants are ordered to pay $2,570.33 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears and compensation up to March 31, 2020, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $175.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by September 19, 2020, they will start to owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
