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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 24, 2021. The Tenants are ordered to pay $15,115.48 to the Landlords, which includes rent arrears up to July 13, 2021 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit. The Tenants must also pay $59.18 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting July 14, 2021 until they move out. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by July 24, 2021, the Landlords may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for eviction.
