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 was still in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.

The ruling

The order is limited to costs only and not eviction, as the Tenant has paid all arrears for the period ending May 31, 2024 after the application was filed. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $185.94, the remaining amount for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by June 30, 2024, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 7.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
