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 August 15, 2020. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $9,602.74, which includes rent arrears up to August 4, 2020 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $44.29 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting August 5, 2020 until they move out. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by August 15, 2020, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for eviction.
