What happened

Landlords 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 on June 30, 2023, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective June 30, 2023, the date the tenants vacated the rental unit. The tenants are ordered to pay $3,186 to the landlords, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date, the cost of filing the application, minus the $5,000 set-off amount. The tenants have until November 1, 2023 to pay the amount owing before interest starts to accrue.
