Landlord And J.E. Tenants Roderick Recinto Centurion Property Associates Inc (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict J.E. and Roderick Recinto (the 'Tenants') because the Tenants did not pay the rent that the Tenants owe. The Landlord also claimed charges related to NSF cheques. This application was heard by videoconference on April 11, 2023. The Landlord’s Legal Representative Faith McGregor and the Tenant J.E. attended the hearing. The Tenant met with Tenant Duty Counsel prior to the hearing. Determinations: 1.

As of the hearing date, the Tenants were still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $1,926.90. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $63.35. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,926.90 x 12, divided by 365 days. Order Page: 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-034167-22 5.

The parties came before me and requested a standard order to May 31, 2023. 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 not be unfair to postpone the eviction until May 31, 2023 pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. It is ordered that: 12. The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenants is terminated unless the Tenants void this order. 13. The Tenants may void this order and continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlord: 1. $3,185.01 if the payment is made on or before April 30, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR 2. $5,111.91 if the payment is made on or before May 31, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 14. 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 May 31, 2023 but before the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) enforces the eviction. The Tenants may only make this motion once during the tenancy. 15. 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 May 31, 2023. 16. If the Tenants do not void the order, the Tenants shall pay to the Landlord $117.34. 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 Order Page: 2 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-034167-22 deducted from the amount owing by the Tenants. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 17. The Tenants shall also pay the Landlord compensation of $63.35 per day for the use of the unit starting April 12, 2023 until the date the Tenants move out of the unit. 2023 ONLTB 33374 (CanLII) 18. If the Tenants do not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before May 8, 2023, the Tenants will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from May 9, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 19. The Landlord or the Tenants shall pay to the other any sum of money that is owed as a result of this order. 20. If the unit is not vacated on or before May 31, 2023, then starting June 1, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. 21. Upon receipt of this order, the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) is directed to give vacant possession of the unit to the Landlord on or after June 1, 2023.
