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 tenant was still in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated unless the tenant pays $8,696 by October 16, 2023 to void the order. If the tenant does not pay, the tenant must move out by October 16, 2023 and pay the landlord $7,028.70 plus daily compensation of $24.66 per day starting September 28, 2023 until the tenant moves out.
