Tenant CAPREIT 2 LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict C.M.C. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. The Landlord also claimed charges related to NSF cheques. This application was heard by videoconference on February 13, 2023. Only the Landlord’s representative, Jason Paine attended the hearing. As of 1:53 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 $1,372.27. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $45.12. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,372.27 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has paid $7,042.16 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to February 28, 2023 are $5,871.00. Order Page: 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-037011-22 7. The Landlord is entitled to $80.00 to reimburse the Landlord for administration charges and $20.00 for bank fees the Landlord incurred as a result of 4 cheque given by or on behalf of the Tenant which was returned NSF. 8. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to 2023 ONLTB 21993 (CanLII) reimbursement of those costs. 9. There is no last month's rent deposit. 10. As noted, the Tenant did not attend the hearing of this matter and thus I did not have the opportunity to hear their evidence regarding their circumstances. or to dispute the Landlord’s application for an eviction order. 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 March 27, 2023 pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. 12. The Tenant is on subsidy and as a result, the Landlord has agreed to postpone the eviction to allow the Tenant an opportunity to pay the arrears and preserve their Tenancy and remain in the rental unit. 13. The Landlord’s representative indicated that the Landlord has attempted to contact the Tenant regarding the arrears and left voice messages and letters regarding a payment plan with no response from the Tenant. I am satisfied the Landlord met their obligation to attempt to negotiate a repayment plan with the Tenant. 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:  $6,157.00 if the payment is made on or before February 28, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR  $7,529.27 if the payment is made on or before March 27, 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 March 27, 2023 but before the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) enforces the eviction. The Tenant may only make this motion once during the tenancy. Order Page: 2 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-037011-22 4.
