G., 2023 ONLTB 69640 Date: 2023-10-26 File Number: LTB-L-041694-23 In the matter of: LOWER, 274 WILLIAM ST PETERBOROUGH ON K9J5E4 Between: T.S. Landlords Brandon Jackson And A.V.G. Tenant T.S. and Brandon Jackson (the 'Landlords') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict A.V.G. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on October 11, 2023. The Landlord, T.S., and the Tenant attended the hearing. Determinations: 1. The Landlords served the Tenant with a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Nonpayment 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 $2,650.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $87.12. This amount is calculated as follows: $2,650.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. Order Page 1 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-041694-23 5. The Tenant has not made any payments since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to October 31, 2023 are $18,550.00. 7.

The Landlords collected a rent deposit of $2,650.00 from the Tenant and this deposit is still being held by the Landlords. The rent deposit can only be applied to the last rental period of the tenancy if the tenancy is terminated. 9. Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $40.66 is owing to the Tenant for the period from March 2, 2023 to October 11, 2023. 10. 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 and whether the Landlords attempted to negotiate a repayment agreement with the Tenant and find that it would be unfair to grant relief from eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) of the Act. The Tenant did not dispute that she owes the arrears claimed by the Landlords. The Tenant testified that she is not able to pay the arrears and she acknowledged that she needs to find alternative housing immediately. It is ordered that: 1. The tenancy between the Landlords 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 Landlords or to the LTB in trust: • $18,736.00 if the payment is made on or before October 31, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR • $21,386.00 if the payment is made on or before November 6, 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 November 6, 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 November 6, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlords $14,353.66. 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 Landlords owe on the rent deposit are Order Page 2 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-041694-23 deducted from the amount owing by the Tenant. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 6. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlords compensation of $87.12 per day for the use of the unit starting October 12, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. 2023 ONLTB 69640 (CanLII) 7. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before November 6, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from November 7, 2023 at 7.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. If the unit is not vacated on or before November 6, 2023, then starting November 7, 2023, the Landlords 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 Landlords on or after November 7, 2023.
