What happened
The Landlord applied for termination of the tenancy and eviction based on four grounds: non-payment of rent, substantial interference (related to unpaid utilities), persistent late payment of rent, and the Landlord's requirement of the unit for personal use by their son. The Tenant did not attend the hearing. The Landlord successfully demonstrated grounds for termination under the N4, N8, and N12 applications.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective January 5, 2026. The Tenant is ordered to move out and pay the Landlord $10,136.68. This amount represents rent arrears up to November 30, 2025, plus the filing fee, minus the rent deposit and interest. If the Tenant stays beyond November 30, they must pay daily compensation of $55.89. The termination is non-voidable because it was granted under N8 and N12 applications.
