2023 ONLTB 19200 (CanLII) Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: W.E.C.H. Corporation v A., 2023 ONLTB 19200 Date: 2023-02-07 File Number: LTB-L-035573-22 In the matter of: 3551 WELLS ST W. ON N9C1T6 Between: W.E.C.H. Landlord Corporation And M.A. Tenant W.E.C.H. Corporation (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict M.A. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on February 2, 2023. Only the Landlord's Legal Representative, C. Parrott, attended the hearing. As of 10:11 a.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 $769.00. Order Page: 1 of 4 File Number: LTB-L-035573-22 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $25.28. This amount is calculated as follows: $769.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has paid $1,148.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The Landlord communicated with the Tenant on the necessity of a repayment agreement. 2023 ONLTB 19200 (CanLII) The Landlord’s attempts at negotiating a repayment agreement were unsuccessful. 7. The rent arrears owing to February 28, 2023 are $8,277.00. 8. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 9. There is no last month's rent deposit. 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 February 28, 2023 pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. Additional time is given to the Tenant to either secure alternative accommodation or 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: • $8,463.00 if the payment is made on or before February 28, 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 February 28, 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 28, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $7,744.56. This amount includes rent arrears owing up to the date of the hearing and the cost of filing the application. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 6. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlord compensation of $25.28 per day for the use of the unit starting February 3, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. 7. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before February 18, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from February 19, 2023 at 5.00% annually on the balance outstanding. Order Page: 2 of 4 File Number: LTB-L-035573-22 8.

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 March 1, 2023. 2023 ONLTB 19200 (CanLII) February 7, 2023 ____________________________ Date Issued Jitewa Edu Member, Landlord and Tenant Board 15 Grosvenor Street, Ground Floor Toronto ON M7A 2G6 If you have any questions about this order, call 416-645-8080 or toll free at 1-888-332-3234.
