What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Tenant paid the full rent arrears before the termination date, voiding the N4 Notice. The Landlord then requested to proceed with the application for payment of arrears only.

The ruling

The Tenant voided the N4 Notice by paying the full rent arrears before the termination date, so the eviction portion of the application cannot proceed. The Landlord is awarded $2,827.00, which includes the rent arrears and the application filing fee. The Tenant is ordered to pay this amount by April 20, 2024, after which interest will accrue.
