M.H., S.A.

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. One tenant, M. Harris, attended the hearing, while the other tenant, S. Aitken, was absent.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective April 4, 2023, the date the tenants vacated the rental unit. The tenants are ordered to pay $15,641.97 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit.
