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 Tenant was still in possession of the rental unit at the time of the hearing.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant for non-payment of rent was granted. The Tenant was ordered to pay $35,000 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the hearing date and the application filing fee. The Tenant was given until February 19, 2024 to either pay the full amount owing or vacate the unit.
