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 was still in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy will be terminated on April 21, 2023 unless the tenant pays $3,394.54 by March 31, 2023 or $5,049.85 by April 21, 2023 to void the order. If the tenancy is terminated, the tenant must pay $893.09 to the landlord and $54.42 per day in compensation starting March 15, 2023.
