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

Unless the Tenant voids the order by paying $27,686 by March 31, 2024, the tenancy will be terminated. If the tenant does not void the order, the tenants are ordered to pay $22,290.75 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the hearing date and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenants must also pay daily compensation of $82.19 per day starting February 28, 2024 until they move out.
