What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The Landlord also claimed NSF cheque charges and related administration charges.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective December 31, 2020. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $3,313.53, which represents the rent arrears and compensation up to November 23, 2020, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $34.34 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting November 24, 2020 until the Tenant moves out. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $175.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing by December 4, 2020, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2.00% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by December 31, 2020, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement.
