Tenants Ricardo Romo 260 Wellesley Residences (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict J.A. and Ricardo Romo (the 'Tenants') because the Tenants did not pay the rent that the Tenants owe. This application was heard by videoconference on January 5, 2023. Only the Landlord’s legal representative Charlie Bobrowsky attended the hearing. As of 9:54am, the Tenants were not present despite being served with notice of hearing by the Board. Determinations: 1. The Landlord served the Tenants with a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non- payment of Rent (N4 Notice). The Tenants 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 Tenants were still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $1,461.25. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $48.04. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,461.25 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenants have paid $11,790.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to January 31, 2023 are $787.78. 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 $1,455.65 from the Tenants 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. Order Page: 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-024942-22 9. Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $17.97 is owing to the Tenants for the period from January 1, 2021 to January 5, 2023. 10. 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 2023 ONLTB 14780 (CanLII) 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. It is ordered that: 1. The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenants is terminated unless the Tenants void this order. 2. The Tenants may void this order and continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlord or to the LTB in trust:  $973.78 if the payment is made on or before January 27, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 3. The Tenants may also make a motion at the LTB to void this order under section 74(11) of the Act, if the Tenants have paid the full amount owing as ordered plus any additional rent that became due after January 27, 2023 but before the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) enforces the eviction. The Tenants may only make this motion once during the tenancy. 4. If the Tenants do not pay the amount required to void this order the Tenants must move out of the rental unit on or before January 27, 2023 5. As of the date of the hearing, the amount of the rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit exceeds the arrears of rent, compensation and the cost of filing the application the Landlord is entitled to by $1,720.89. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. However, the Landlord is authorized to deduct from the amount owing to the Tenants $48.04 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting January 6, 2023 until the date the Tenants move out of the unit. 6. If the unit is not vacated on or before January 27, 2023, then starting January 28, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. 7. 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 January 28, 2023.
