Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: Kinsun Properties v L., 2023 ONLTB 14328 2023 ONLTB 14328 (CanLII) Date: 2023-01-20 File Number: LTB-L-004570-22 In the matter of: 104, 1274 YORK MILLS RD NORTH YORK ON M3A1Z1 Between: Kinsun Properties Landlord And J.L. Tenant Kinsun Properties (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict J. L. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. The Landlord also claimed charges related to NSF cheques. This application was heard by videoconference on August 2, 2022. Only the Landlord’s Legal Representative, Anthony Marner, attended the hearing. As of 3:25 P.M, the Tenant was not present or represented at the hearing although properly served with notice of this hearing by the LTB. There was no record of a request to adjourn the hearing. As a result, the hearing proceeded with only the Landlord's evidence. Determinations: 1. The Landlord served the Tenant with a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice). The Tenant did not void the notice by paying the amount of rent arrears owing by the termination date in the N4 Notice or before the date the application was filed. 2. As of the hearing date, the Tenant was still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $1,775.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $58.36. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,775.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has paid $800.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to August 31, 2022 are $14,400.00. 7. The Landlord is entitled to $20.00 to reimburse the Landlord for administration charges and $5.00 for bank fees the Landlord incurred as a result of 1 cheque given by or on behalf of the Tenant which was returned NSF.

The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,775.00 from the Tenant and this deposit is still being held by the Landlord. The rent deposit can only be applied to the last rental period of 2023 ONLTB 14328 (CanLII) the tenancy if the tenancy is terminated. 10. Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $17.86 is owing to the Tenant for the period from October 1, 2020 to August 2, 2022. 11. I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances in accordance with subsection 83(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the 'Act'), including the impact of COVID-19 on the parties and whether the Landlord attempted to negotiate a repayment agreement with the Tenant and find that it would be unfair to grant relief from eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) of the Act. Based on the uncontested evidence provided by the Landlord, I find that the Tenant failed to pay the rent in full. I have no reason to deny the eviction requested by the Landlord. It is ordered that: 1. The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenant is terminated unless the Tenant voids this order. 2. The Tenant may void this order and continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlord or to the LTB in trust:  $23,486.00 if the payment is made on or before January 24, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 3. The Tenant may also make a motion at the LTB to void this order under section 74(11) of the Act, if the Tenant has paid the full amount owing as ordered plus any additional rent that became due after January 24, 2023, but before the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) enforces the eviction. The Tenant may only make this motion once during the tenancy. 4. If the Tenant does not pay the amount required to void this order the Tenant must move out of the rental unit on or before January 24, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $11,159.86. This amount includes rent arrears owing up to the date of the hearing and the cost of filing the application and unpaid NSF charges. The rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit are deducted from the amount owing by the Tenant. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 6. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlord compensation of $58.36 per day for the use of the unit starting August 3, 2022, until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. 7. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before January 31, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from February 1, 2023, at 5.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. The Landlord or the Tenant shall pay to the other any sum of money that is owed as a result of this order. Order Page: 2 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-004570-22 9.
