What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant 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 Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Tenant was still in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.

The ruling

Unless the Tenant voids the order by paying $7,685 by March 31, 2024 or $8,773 by April 7, 2024, the tenancy will be terminated. If the Tenant does not void the order, they must pay $6,009.78 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the hearing date and the cost of filing the application.
