What happened

The Landlord applied for termination of tenancy and eviction based on two grounds: non-payment of rent and the intention to convert the rental unit to non-residential use. Specifically, the Landlord intends to use the unit as a storage facility for costumes and props for the West End Theatre Project. The Tenants failed to pay rent arrears and did not attend the hearing. The Landlord also provided evidence of paying the required one-month compensation for the N13 conversion notice.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 5, 2025. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $8,108.02 for rent arrears and filing fees, after deducting the rent deposit and interest. Additionally, the Tenants must pay daily compensation of $28.66 from March 12, 2025, until they vacate. The eviction is not voidable by payment due to the conversion grounds.
