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 vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing date.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The Tenant vacated the rental unit in accordance with the N4 Notice, and the Landlord is only entitled to compensation up to the date the Tenant vacated, which was December 31, 2020, and the Tenant did not owe any rent arrears as of that date.
