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 paid the full rent owed from October 1, 2019 to November 30, 2020.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective December 8, 2020. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $8,037.19, which includes rent arrears up to November 27, 2020 and the cost of filing the application, minus the $2,435.00 the Tenant paid. The Tenant must also pay $28.54 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting November 28, 2020 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by December 8, 2020, the Tenant will start to owe interest and the Landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
