What happened

Landlords 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 ruling

The tenancy is terminated. The Tenants must pay the Landlords $14,315.01, which includes rent arrears and compensation up to July 3, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants must also pay $186.00 for the application filing fee. If the full amount is not paid by August 28, 2021, the Tenants will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
