2023 ONLTB 17255 (CanLII) Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: N.H.D. Developments Limited v H., 2023 ONLTB 17255 Date: 2023-02-03 File Number: LTB-L-031090-22 In the matter of: 1209, 4001 STEELES AVE W NORTH YORK ON M3N2T8 Between: N.H.D. Developments Limited Landlord And D.H. Tenant N.H.D. Developments Limited (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict D.H. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on January 19, 2023. Only the Landlord's Legal Representative, L. Corsetti, attended the hearing. As of 2:51 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 $1,216.50. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $39.99. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,216.50 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has paid $10,880.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed.

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 $1,181.42 from the Tenant and this deposit is still 2023 ONLTB 17255 (CanLII) 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 $15.71 is owing to the Tenant for the period from January 1, 2021 to January 19, 2023. 10. I have considered all 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 March 14, 2023 pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. Additional time is given to the Tenant to pay the outstanding amount. 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: • $2,854.50 if the payment is made on or before February 28, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR • $4,071.00 if the payment is made on or before March 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 March 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 March 14, 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 $15.82. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. However, the Landlord is authorized to deduct from the amount owing to the Tenant $39.99 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting January 20, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit.
