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 other named tenant has since vacated the unit.

The ruling

The tenancy will be terminated on May 5, 2023 unless the tenant pays $11,722.06 by April 30, 2023 or $13,066.12 by May 5, 2023 to void the order. If the tenant does not pay, they must vacate the unit by May 5, 2023 and pay the landlord $9,634.21, 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.
