Landlord And T.R.J.R. Tenant 9878831 Canada Inc. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict T.R.J.R. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on July 5, 2023. The Tenant attended the hearing. The Landlord was represented at the hearing by Alexandre Traboulsi. 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 $1,950.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $64.11. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,950.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has not made any payments since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to July 31, 2023, are $13,650.00. 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 $1,950.00 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 the tenancy if the tenancy is terminated. 9. Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $31.12 is owing to the Tenant for the period from November 15, 2022, to July 5, 2023. Order Page 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-019631-23 Relief from Eviction 10. The Tenant does not dispute the amount of rent arrears. The issue before the Board is whether it is appropriate to grant relief from eviction pursuant to s.8 3 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2006, (the ‘Act’). 2023 ONLTB 58918 (CanLII) 11. According to s.83 of the Act when the Board hears an application for an order evicting a tenant, the Board must consider whether there are any circumstances that support granting relief from eviction. 12. The Tenant has not made any arrears payments since the application was filed. Further, The Tenant’s monthly expenses exceed his monthly income. I do not find there would a realistic payment plan to preserve the tenancy. Given the circumstances, I find it would be unfair to deny eviction. 13. I do find a delay of eviction, until October 31, 2023, to be appropriate. This will give the Tenant time to find a new place to live within his monthly budget. 14. I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances in accordance with subsection 83(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the 'Act'), and find that it would not be unfair to postpone the eviction until October 31, 2023, pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. 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:  $15,786.00 if the payment is made on or before August 31, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR  $17,736.00 if the payment is made on or before September 30, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR  $19,686.00 if the payment is made on or before October 31, 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 October 31, 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 October 31, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $10,225.43. This amount includes rent arrears owing up to the date of the hearing and the cost of filing Order Page 2 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-019631-23 the application. 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 $64.11 per day for the use of the 2023 ONLTB 58918 (CanLII) unit starting July 6, 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 September 1, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from September 2, 2023, at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. If the unit is not vacated on or before October 31, 2023, then starting November 1, 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 November 1, 2023.
