What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants 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 tenants did not void by paying the arrears. The tenants were still in possession of the rental unit at the time of the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated unless the tenants pay $24,239.25 by May 12, 2023 to void the order and continue the tenancy. If the tenants do not pay this amount, they must move out by May 12, 2023 and pay the landlord $18,459.14, which includes rent arrears up to the hearing date and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest.
