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 is terminated effective July 19, 2021. The tenants are ordered to pay $4,998.69 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to July 8, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenants must also pay $29.26 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting July 9, 2021 until they move out. If the tenants do not pay the full amount owing by July 19, 2021, they will start to owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
