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 paid the full rent from February 1, 2020 to November 30, 2020.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 5, 2021. The tenant must pay the landlord $12,304.75 in rent arrears and application costs, plus $49.32 per day in compensation starting December 19, 2020 until the tenant vacates. If the tenant does not pay the full amount by January 5, 2021, the landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction.
