2023 ONLTB 17853 (CanLII) Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: Bluebird Apartments v Bischof, 2023 ONLTB 17853 Date: 2023-01-31 File Number: LTB-L-028053-22 In the matter of: 918, 195 NATCHEZ RD KITCHENER ON N2B1W2 Between: Bluebird Apartments and M. Schiketanz Real Landlords Estate Inc. And Jerry Bischof Tenant Bluebird Apartments and M. Schiketanz Real Estate Inc. (the 'Landlords') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Jerry Bischof (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on January 17, 2023. Only the Landlords’ Representative E. Schroeder attended the hearing. As of 1:29 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 Landlords’ evidence. Determinations: 1. The Landlords served the Tenant with a valid Notice to End 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 was $1,219.45. It changed to $1,234.08 on June 1, 2022. It is due on the first day of each month. Order Page: 1 of 4 File Number: LTB-L-028053-22 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation was $40.09. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,219.45 x 12, divided by 365 days. The daily rent/compensation is $40.57 and is calculated as follows: $1,234.08 x 12 divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant made payments of $6,044.48 since the application was filed. 2023 ONLTB 17853 (CanLII) 6. The rent arrears owing to January 31, 2023 are $7,457.82. 7. The Landlords incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and are entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 8. There is no last month's rent deposit. 9. 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 be unfair to grant relief from eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) of the Act. It is ordered that: 1. The tenancy between the Landlords 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 Landlords or to the LTB in trust: • $7,643.82 if the payment is made on or before January 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 February 11, 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 February 11, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlords $7,099.43. This amount includes rent arrears owing up to the date of the hearing and the cost of filing the application. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 6. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlords compensation of $40.57 per day for the use of the unit starting January 18, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. 7. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlords the full amount owing on or before February 11, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from February 12, 2023 at 5.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. The Landlords 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 4 File Number: LTB-L-028053-22 9. If the unit is not vacated on or before February 11, 2023, then starting February 12, 2023, the Landlords may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. 10. Upon receipt of this order, the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) is directed to give vacant possession of the unit to the Landlords on or after February 12, 2023. 2023 ONLTB 17853 (CanLII) January 31, 2023 ____________________________ Date Issued William Greenberg Member, Landlord and Tenant Board 15 Grosvenor Street, Ground Floor Toronto ON M7A 2G6 If you have any questions about this order, call 416-645-8080 or toll free at 1-888-332-3234.
