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 not vacated the rental unit by the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective April 24, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $13,943.07, which includes rent arrears, compensation, and NSF cheque charges, less the rent deposit and interest owed. The Tenant must also pay $41.56 per day for use of the unit starting April 14, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant pays $16,102 on or before April 24, 2021, the eviction order will be void and the tenancy will continue.
