N12 Notice of Termination Landlord's Own Use On June 7, 2022, the Landlord gave the Tenant an N12 notice of termination and was 2023 ONLTB 23714 (CanLII) deemed served June 12, 2023, with the termination date of August 31, 2022. The Landlord File Number: LTB-L-033227-22 claims that they require vacant possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation by the Landlord and/or their spouse. 4. The Landlord in good faith requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of their own residential occupation for a period of at least one year. 5. The Landlord has compensated the Tenant an amount equal to one month's rent by August 31, 2022. 6. The Tenant was required to pay the Landlord $3,739.73 in daily compensation for use and occupation of the rental unit for the period from September 1, 2022 to February 22, 2023. 7. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily compensation is $21.37. This amount is calculated as follows: $650.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. 8. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 9. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $650.00 from the Tenant and this deposit is still being held by the Landlord. Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $0.00 is owing to the Tenant for the period from September 29, 2021. 10. In accordance with subsection 106(10) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, (the ‘Act') the last month's rent deposit shall be applied to the rent for the last month of the tenancy. 11. 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 Landlord and the Tenant is terminated. The Tenant must move out of the rental unit on or before March 20, 2023. 2. If the unit is not vacated on or before March 20, 2023, then starting March 21, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced.
