What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to non-payment of rent and failure to pay utility costs. The Landlord was no longer the owner of the property as of August 23, 2022, so the Landlord was only seeking the rent arrears owed up to that date.

The ruling

The Landlord's L2 application for failure to pay utility costs was dismissed. The Tenants were ordered to pay the Landlord $5,041.27, which includes $4,855.27 in rent arrears owed to August 31, 2022 and the $186.00 application filing fee. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by May 31, 2023, they will start owing interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
