What happened

Landlord applied for an order to recover rent arrears and utilities payments from the tenant, who had fallen behind on rent and vacated the rental unit after being served with a Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-Payment of Rent (N4 Notice).

The ruling

The court granted judgment to the landlord for $5,359.96 in rent arrears, utilities arrears, and costs. The court found that the tenant's liability for rent ended on the termination date specified in the landlord's N4 notice, which was January 16, 2011, even though the landlord sold the property on January 13, 2011.
