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 was in possession of the rental unit when the application was filed.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective May 16, 2021. The Tenant must pay $11,471.06 to the Landlord, which includes rent arrears up to the termination date and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by May 16, 2021, the Tenant will start owing interest and the Landlord can file the order with the Sheriff to evict the Tenant. However, the Tenant cannot be evicted until the Ontario government removes the regulation that currently prohibits evictions.
