Tenancy End Date
Jan 2022
The tenancy is terminated effective January 7, 2022. The Tenant must move out by that date and pay the Landlord $2,334.48 in compensation for use of the unit from August 1, 2021 to December 20, 2021, plus $16.44 per day from December 21, 2021 until the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by December 31, 2021, they will owe interest starting January 1, 2022.
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant because the Landlord requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenant remained in the unit after the termination date.
The Landlord has moved into the upper unit and is seeking to gain access to the basement to return the building to a single-family dwelling. The Landlord's health is failing, and she wishes to "scale back" on her obligations.
The Tenant rents a bedroom in the basement unit and has shared the kitchen and bath with other tenants for about 5 years. The Tenant is currently unemployed and has been actively looking for another rental unit but has not been successful.
