What happened

Landlords 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 as of the hearing date.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective December 28, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlords $7,247.68, which includes rent arrears up to December 17, 2021 and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay $42.74 per day for compensation for use of the unit starting December 18, 2021 until the Tenant vacates. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by December 28, 2021, the Landlords may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement.
