What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the 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 Tenants were still in possession of the rental unit at the time of the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective June 20, 2023 unless the Tenants pay $10,933.44 to void the order. If the Tenants do not void the order, they must pay $8,577.68 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 $39.26 for each day of occupation starting April 26, 2023 until they vacate the unit.
