What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent and the Landlords' good faith requirement of the rental unit for personal use. The Landlords served valid N4 and N12 Notices, but the Tenants did not void the notices by paying the arrears. The Tenants had vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective January 31, 2022, the date the Tenants likely vacated the rental unit. The Tenants are ordered to pay $2,645.72 to the Landlords, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit.
