What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants 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 tenants did not void by paying the arrears. The tenants had vacated the rental unit on December 1, 2020, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective December 1, 2020, the date the tenants vacated the rental unit. The tenants are ordered to pay $6,670.41 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date, the cost of filing the application, and interest on the rent deposit owed to the tenants.
