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 had not vacated the rental unit as of the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective October 2, 2021, unless the Tenant pays the outstanding amount by the specified deadlines to void the order and continue the tenancy. The Landlord is authorized to offset certain amounts from the rent deposit and interest owed to the Tenant.
