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 ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective April 30, 2023. The Tenant must vacate the rental unit by April 30, 2023. If the unit is not vacated by that date, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $21,812.41, which includes rent arrears up to April 30, 2023 and the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by May 16, 2023, the Tenant will start owing interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
