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 vacated the rental unit at the time of the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 15, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $6,920.85, which includes rent arrears up to January 4, 2021, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $28.27 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting January 5, 2021 until the Tenant moves out, and $175 for the application filing fee. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by January 16, 2021, the Tenant will start owing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by January 15, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
