What happened

Landlords 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 were in possession of the rental unit on the application date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective October 31, 2020. The Tenants must pay the Landlords $12,732.49, which includes rent arrears, compensation, and the application fee, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by October 31, 2020, they will owe interest and the Landlords can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
