Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: 186 King St. Limited Partnership v G., 2023 ONLTB 16001 2023 ONLTB 16001 (CanLII) Date: 2023-05-26 File Number: LTB-L-027729-22 In the matter of: 805, 186 KING ST LONDON ON N6A1C7 Between: 186 King St. Limited Partnership Landlord And J.G. Tenant 186 King St. Limited Partnership (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict J.G. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on January 17, 2023. The Landlord’s Agent E. Da Silva and the Tenant attended the hearing. 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 $750.35. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $24.67. This amount is calculated as follows: $750.35 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 January 31, 2023 are $8,802.90. 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 $732.05 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 $15.75 is owing to the Tenant for the period from September 1, 2021 to January 17, 2023.

The Tenant testified that he was arrested end of 2021 which was a highly publicized arrest due to which he lost his job and has not been able to acquire another source of employment since then. He is currently on Ontario Works and only gets $800.00 a month. 2023 ONLTB 16001 (CanLII) The amount received does not allow him to neither pay rent nor get into a payment plan for the arrears. He did request time till end of February 2023 to move out of the rental unit. The Landlord’s Agent also agreed to the same. 11. 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 February 28, 2023 pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. I have based my decision on the Tenant’s testimony and his request to give him extra time to find another suitable shelter. 12. Given the date the order is issued, the Tenant has already been given additional time to find alternate accommodation more than what he requested for at the hearing. 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:  $11,990.30 if the payment is made on or before May 31, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR  $12,722.35 if the payment is made on or before June 30, 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 June 06, 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 June 6, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $7,910.14. 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 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 $24.67 per day for the use of the unit starting January 18, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit.

This will be simple interest calculated from June 7, 2023 at 2.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. If the unit is not vacated on or before June 6, 2023, then starting June 7, 2023, the 2023 ONLTB 16001 (CanLII) 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 June 7, 2023.
