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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective October 4, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $35,000, which represents the amount of rent owing and compensation up to September 23, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $64.11 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting September 24, 2021 to the date the Tenant moves out, and $186 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing by October 4, 2021, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
