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 of Termination effective October 1, 2020, which the tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The tenant had vacated the rental unit on January 13, 2021, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective January 13, 2021, the date the tenant vacated the rental unit. The tenant is ordered to pay $8,566.66 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date and compensation, less the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The tenant must also pay $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the full amount is not paid by May 1, 2021, the tenant will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
