Dispute Summary
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.
Determinations
- Landlord served valid N4 Notice
- Tenants did not void notice by paying arrears
- Tenants in possession on application date
- Lawful rent is $2,500 due on 15th of each month
- No payments made since application filed
Case Study
The tenant should have paid the rent arrears to void the N4 notice. The landlord has suffered financial hardship due to the non-payment, and there was insufficient evidence to determine the landlord was in serious breach of their obligations.
Arguments and Actions
Landlord
Actions
Landlord has reached out to the Tenant to negotiate a repayment plan, without success. Landlord has suffered financial hardship as a result of the non-payment.

Decision Summary
The tenancy is terminated unless the tenant pays $20,186 by September 14, 2023 or $22,686 by September 25, 2023 to void the order. If the tenant does not pay, they must vacate the unit by September 25, 2023 and pay the landlord $13,003.46 plus daily compensation.
