What happened

The Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to non-payment of rent. A valid N4 notice was served, but the Tenants did not pay the arrears to void the notice. The Tenants vacated the unit on May 31, 2025, prior to the hearing. The hearing proceeded in the absence of the Tenants, and the Landlords sought recovery of rent arrears and the application fee, minus the rent deposit and interest.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective May 31, 2025. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlords $1,691.81, representing the remaining rent arrears and application fee after accounting for payments made after filing and the application of the last month's rent deposit with interest.
