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 remained in possession of the rental unit on the application date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective March 8, 2022. The tenant must pay the landlord $19,684.01, which includes rent arrears, compensation for use of the unit, and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. If the tenant does not pay the full amount by March 8, 2022, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by March 8, 2022, the landlord may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
