What happened

Landlord 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 June 2, 2021, prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective June 2, 2021, the date the Tenants vacated the rental unit. The Tenants are ordered to pay $2,953.95 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the move-out date and the cost of filing the application, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by August 21, 2021, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
