Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 2023 ONLTB 46042 (CanLII) Citation: 155 Antibes Drive Apartments v M.M., 2023 ONLTB 46042 Date: 2023-06-26 File Number: LTB-L-006001-23 In the matter of: 1107, 155 ANTIBES DR NORTH YORK ON M2R3G7 Between: 155 Antibes Drive Apartments Landlord And M.M. Tenant 155 Antibes Drive Apartments (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict M.M. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on June 7, 2023. The Landlord’s representative, Samuel Korman, attended the hearing. As of 5:33 pm, 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 the Tenancy Early for Nonpayment 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 $1,684.82. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $55.39. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,684.82 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has paid $6,690.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to June 30, 2023 are $3,377.80. Order Page: 1 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-006001-23 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 8. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,624.26 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 the tenancy if the tenancy is terminated. 2023 ONLTB 46042 (CanLII) 9. Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $22.82 is owing to the Tenant for the period from January 1, 2021 to June 7, 2023. 10. The Landlord’s representative submitted that the Landlord sent a letter to the Tenant on May 31, 2023, with the L1 Update sheet, offering an arrears payment plan to the Tenant; however, the Tenant never responded to the Landlord’s offer. 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. 12. The Landlord’s representative was not aware of any circumstances that should be considered in a determination of whether to provide the Tenant with eviction relief, nor was the Tenant or his representative present at the hearing to provide submissions with respect to the Tenant’s relief from eviction. For these reasons, it would be unfair to the Landlord to grant the Tenant with eviction relief. 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: • $3,563.80 if the payment is made on or before June 30, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR • $5,248.62 if the payment is made on or before July 7, 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 July 7, 2023 but before the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) enforces the eviction. The Tenant may only make this motion once during the tenancy. Order Page: 2 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-006001-23 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 July 7, 2023. 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $619.63. This amount includes rent arrears owing up to the date of the hearing and the cost of filing the application. The rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit are 2023 ONLTB 46042 (CanLII) 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 $55.39 per day for the use of the unit starting June 8, 2023 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 July 7, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from July 8, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. If the unit is not vacated on or before July 7, 2023, then starting July 8, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. 9. Upon receipt of this order, the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) is directed to give vacant possession of the unit to the Landlord on or after July 8, 2023.
