L. Z. A. J. G. Tenant A.N.A.P.B.Z. (the 'L.') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy A. evict J. G. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on January 16, 2023. Only the L. attended the hearing. As of 2:06 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 $2,740.00. It is due on the 15th day of each month.

The Tenant has not made any payments since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to February 14, 2023 are $32,842.40. 2023 ONLTB 17921 (CanLII) 7.

The Tenant lives in the unit with two teenaged children. 10. The L. testified that although the Tenant had agreed to move out in April 2022, she did not do so. In August 2022 the Tenant sent a message to the L. inquiring the balance owing A. promised to pay. 11. The Tenant has made no payments since February 2022. The arrears are extensive A. close to the Board’s jurisdiction. I find that it is prejudicial to the Landlord for the tenancy to continue. 12. I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances in accordance with subsection 83(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the 'Act'), including the impact of COVID-19 on the parties A. whether the L. attempted to negotiate a repayment agreement with the Tenant A. find that it would be unfair to grant relief from eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) of the Act.

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 February 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 February 14, 2023 5.
