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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 31, 2021. The tenant must pay $307.58 to the landlord, which includes rent arrears up to July 13, 2021 and the application fee, less the $3,150 the tenant paid after the application was filed. The tenant must also pay $18.08 per day in compensation starting July 14, 2021 until the tenant vacates the unit. If the tenant pays $836 on or before July 31, 2021, the eviction order will be void and the tenancy will continue.
