What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent and persistent late payment of rent. The Landlord served valid N4 and N8 notices, which the Tenants did not void by paying the arrears.

The ruling

The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $5,340, which includes rent arrears up to September 30, 2023 and the filing fee, less the rent abatements for the Landlord's failure to address the sewage backup and roof leak issues. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by October 15, 2023, they will owe interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
