What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to non-payment of rent and substantial interference with the Landlords' lawful rights. The Landlords served valid N4 and N5 notices, but the Tenants did not void the notices. The Tenants were absent from the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated. The Tenants must vacate the rental unit by February 10, 2024 and pay the Landlords $24,456.67, which includes rent arrears, application filing fees, and unpaid utility costs. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by February 10, 2024, they will owe interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance starting February 11, 2024. If the unit is not vacated by February 10, 2024, the Landlords can file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
