Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $77.78 is owing to the Tenant for the period from November 5, 2021 to October 11, 2023. 10. I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances in accordance with subsection 83(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the 'Act'), A. find that it would not be unfair to postpone the eviction until November 15, 2023, pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. The Tenants offered a payment plan but their payment history, after the application was filed, shows no payments were made. The Tenants started a new business but there was no evidence to substantiate their income source A. that they have the means to pay rent A. the arrears to preserve this tenancy. The landlord also started due legal process back in November 2022 A. the tenants have had ample time to sort out their finances.

The tenancy between the Landlord A. the Tenant is terminated unless the Tenant voids this order. 2. The Tenant may void this order A. continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlord or to the LTB in trust: • $22,036.00 if the payment is made on or before November 7, 2023.

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 November 15, 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 November 15, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $17,760.70. This amount includes rent arrears owing up to the date of the hearing A. the cost of filing the Order Page 2 of 5 File Number: LTB-L-029428-23 application. The rent deposit A. 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 $75.62 per day for the use of the unit starting October 12, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. 2023 ONLTB 68907 (CanLII) 7. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before October 30, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from October 31, 2023 at 7.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8.
