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 at the time of the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy will be terminated on May 13, 2023 unless the tenant pays $8,450 to void the order and continue the tenancy. If the tenant does not pay, they must vacate the unit by May 13, 2023 and pay the landlord $4,511.66, 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.
