What happened

Landlords 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

Unless the Tenant voids the order by paying $8,457.25 on or before January 30, 2024, the tenancy is terminated. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant must pay the Landlords $6,730.65, which includes rent arrears up to the hearing date and the cost of filing the application, minus the rent deposit and interest on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay daily compensation of $34.31 for each day of occupation starting January 12, 2024 until the Tenant moves out.
