What happened

The landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the tenant due to persistent late rent payments, substantial interference with the landlord's rights, and damages to the rental unit. The landlord served the tenant with N8 and N5 notices, but the tenant failed to remedy the issues within the required time period.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective June 30, 2023. The tenant must pay the landlord $2,231, which includes $2,045 for damages to the rental unit and $186 for the application filing fee. If the tenant does not pay the full amount by June 30, 2023, they will owe interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance starting July 1, 2023.
