What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to rent arrears. The Tenants vacated the unit on July 2, 2025, without providing the legally required 60-day notice. The hearing focused on determining the lawful termination date and the total arrears owing, including the Landlord's efforts to mitigate losses by re-renting the unit.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 31, 2025. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $2,772.23 by September 13, 2025. This amount accounts for two months of rent (due to improper notice), the filing fee, and deductions for the held rent deposit and accrued interest. If payment is not made by the deadline, interest at 4% annually will apply.
