What happened

Landlords 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 N4 Notice, which the Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Tenant had vacated the rental unit on August 15, 2024, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated as of August 15, 2024, the date the Tenant vacated the rental unit. The Tenant must pay the Landlords $14,310.40, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by October 29, 2024, they will start owing interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
