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 had not vacated the rental unit as of the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective March 15, 2022. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $8,137.35, which includes rent arrears up to March 4, 2022 and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $37.81 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting March 5, 2022 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by March 15, 2022, the Tenant will owe interest and the Landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
