2023 ONLTB 60923 (CanLII) Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: C.G.P. v K., 2023 ONLTB 60923 Date: 2023-09-14 File Number: LTB-L-040827-22 In the matter of: 34, 6 C. G. PKY WASAGA BEACH ON L9Z1T4 Between: C.G.P. Landlord And M.K. Tenant C.G.P. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict M.K. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on February 16, 2023 and reconvened on June 22, 2023. The Landlord’s employee P Barnes, the Landlord’s representative A Small and the Tenant’s representative S Bennett attended both hearings. Preliminary Matter: 1. The Landlord’s representative challenged the appearance of S Bennett on behalf of the Tenant M K.. 2. S Bennett testified that she had permission from the sister of the Tenant to appear on his behalf. The sister of the Tenant provided a signed letter indicating that she has authority to delegate on the Tenant’s behalf. 3. S Bennett also provided a copy of the ownership of the mobile home that occupies the rental unit. The ownership states that S Bennett is a co-owner of the mobile home with the Order Page 1 of 4 File Number: LTB-L-040827-22 Tenant M K.. S Bennett testified that the ownership was signed on September 23, 2021. 4. On the basis of the evidence before me, I find that S Bennett can represent the interests of the Tenant M K.. 2023 ONLTB 60923 (CanLII) 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 $463.91. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $15.25. This amount is calculated as follows: $463.91 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has not made any payments since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to June 30, 2023 are $12,482.67. 7. The Tenant does not dispute the rent arrears. 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. Relief from Eviction 10. The Tenant’s representative requested a later termination date in order to move the mobile home to a new location. 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 September 30, 2023 pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. The delay will allow the Tenant some time to secure an alternative location for his mobile home. 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: • $14,060.40 if the payment is made on or before September 30, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. Order Page 2 of 4 File Number: LTB-L-040827-22 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 September 30, 2023 but before the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) enforces the eviction. The Tenant may only make this motion once during the tenancy. 2023 ONLTB 60923 (CanLII) 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 September 30, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $12,540.26. 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 $15.25 per day for the use of the unit starting June 23, 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 September 18, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from September 19, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. If the unit is not vacated on or before September 30, 2023, then starting October 1, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. 9. 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 October 1, 2023.
