Landlord And M.G. Tenants Patrick Walker 2406631 Ontario Inc. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict M.G. and Patrick Walker (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on January 19, 2023. The Landlord’s Agent, M. Dawkins, and the Landlord's Legal Representative, S. Sciulli, attended the hearing. As of 2:07 p.m., the Tenants were not present or represented at the hearing although properly served with notice of this hearing by the Board. Determinations: 1. The Landlord served the Tenants with a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Non-payment of Rent (N4 Notice). The Tenants 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 Tenants were still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $1,972.37. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $64.85. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,972.37 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenants have paid $5,715.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to January 31, 2023 are $11,507.37. 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs.

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 $29.23 is owing to the Tenants for the period 2023 ONLTB 17096 (CanLII) from December 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 8, 2023 pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. Although they have not paid any rent since September 2022, additional time is given to the Tenants to either secure alternative accommodation or pay the outstanding amount. It is ordered that: 1. The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenants is terminated unless the Tenants void this order. 2. The Tenants may void this order and continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlord or to the LTB in trust:  $13,665.74 if the payment is made on or before February 28, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR  $15,638.11 if the payment is made on or before March 8, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 3. The Tenants may also make a motion at the LTB to void this order under section 74(11) of the Act, if the Tenants have paid the full amount owing as ordered plus any additional rent that became due after March 8, 2023 but before the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) enforces the eviction. The Tenants may only make this motion once during the tenancy. 4. If the Tenants do not pay the amount required to void this order the Tenants must move out of the rental unit on or before March 8, 2023 5. If the Tenants do not void the order, the Tenants shall pay to the Landlord $9,028.92. 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 Tenants. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 6. The Tenants shall also pay the Landlord compensation of $64.85 per day for the use of the unit starting January 20, 2023 until the date the Tenants move out of the unit. 7. If the Tenants do not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before February 19, 2023, the Tenants will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from February 20, 2023 at 5.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. If the unit is not vacated on or before March 8, 2023, then starting March 9, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced.
