What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant for non-payment of rent. A preliminary issue arose regarding whether two individuals listed as tenants were actually tenants or just guarantors; they were removed from the application as they never took possession. The Tenant requested to merge this case with a separate T2/T6 application, which was denied. The main dispute concerned the calculation of arrears: the Landlord argued the Tenant was liable for rent until the date specified in the Tenant's N9 notice (October 31, 2025), while the Tenant argued he vacated on September 29, 2025, after an inspection and returning keys.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective September 29, 2025, the date the Tenant vacated. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $5,911.52 by December 7, 2025. This amount reflects rent arrears up to the move-out date and the filing fee, less the last month's rent deposit and accrued interest. The Landlord's attempt to charge rent until the end of October was rejected.
