What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to substantial interference, undue damage, and persistent late payment of rent. The Landlord alleged the Tenants caused damage to the rental unit, including holes in the drywall and damage to the flooring, and substantially interfered with the Landlord's lawful rights by violating municipal bylaws. The Landlord also alleged the Tenants have been persistently late in paying rent.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is granted. The tenancy is terminated effective July 1, 2024. The Tenants must vacate the unit by that date. If they do not, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff for enforcement. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $17,083.75, which includes compensation for use and occupation of the unit and the application filing fee. If the Tenants do not pay by July 1, 2024, they will owe interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
