What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent, persistent late payment, and substantial interference. 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 tenants had vacated the rental unit on June 9, 2023, prior to the hearing date.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated as of June 9, 2023, the date the Tenant moved out. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $16,227.82, which includes rent arrears, utility costs, and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by April 23, 2024, they will owe interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
