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

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective May 18, 2021. The tenants are ordered to pay $14,078.48 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest the landlord owes on the deposit. The tenants are also ordered to pay $50.27 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting May 8, 2021 until the date they move out.
