What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict 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 had vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The order is limited to the landlord's cost of filing the application, as the tenants had already paid all rent arrears, including the last month's rent deposit, after the application was filed. The tenants are no longer in possession of the rental unit.
