What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to non-payment of rent and substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment. Tenant did not pay $1,955 in rent from September 1, 2014 to January 31, 2015, and also broke a window causing $331.12 in repair costs.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective February 13, 2015. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $1,998.45 in rent arrears and compensation, plus $501.12 in costs, by February 13, 2015. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by the due date, they will start owing interest at 3% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by February 13, 2015, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction starting February 14, 2015.
