M.J.A.S.P. Tenant Metcap Living Management Inc (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy A. evict M.J.A.S.P. (the 'Tenants') because the Tenants did not pay the rent that the Tenants owe. This application was heard by videoconference on January 18, 2023. Only the Landlord’s representative Michelle Forrester attended the hearing. As of 1:30 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 Landlord's evidence. 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 $1,080.86. It is due on the 1st day of each month.

The Tenant has paid $8,696.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to January 31, 2023 are $451.12. 2023 ONLTB 22662 (CanLII) 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application A. is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 8. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,080.86 from the Tenant A. 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 $14.30 is owing to the Tenant for the period from January 1, 2022 to January 18, 2023. 10. The Landlord requested a standard order (11-day eviction). 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 April 14, 2023 pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. It would be prejudicial to the Tenants to issue a standard order as the Tenants owe less than one month’s rent to the Landlord. Delaying eviction will give the Tenant’s an opportunity to pay the rent arrears A. preserve their tenancy. It is ordered that: 1. 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: • $2,798.84 if the payment is made on or before March 31, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR • $3,879.70 if the payment is made on or before April 14, 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 April 14, 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 April 14, 2023. Order Page: 2 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-029721-22 5. As of the date of the hearing, the amount of the rent deposit A. interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit exceeds the arrears of rent, compensation A. the cost of filing the application the Landlord is entitled to $899.18. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. However, the Landlord is authorized to deduct from the amount owing to the Tenant $35.54 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting January 19, 2023 ONLTB 22662 (CanLII) 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. 6. If the unit is not vacated on or before April 14, 2023, then starting April 15, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. 7.
