Residential Tenancies Act, 2006
Citation: S.L. v L.F., 2023 ONLTB 38451
Date: 2023-05-18
File Number: LTB-L-045238-22
In the matter of: 302, 6521 DRUMMOND RD
NIAGARA FALLS ON L2G4N5
Between: S.L. Landlord
And
L.F. Tenant
S.L. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict L.
F. (the 'Tenant') because:
• the rental unit is the superintendent's premises and the Tenant's employment as
superintendent has ended.
The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenant remained in the unit after the
termination date.
This application was heard by videoconference on May 10, 2023.
Only the Landlord’s legal representative, Patricia Duwyn, and the Landlord’s agent, Michelle
Twiss, attended the hearing.
As of 1:30 PM, 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. As explained below, the Landlord has proven on a balance of probabilities the grounds for
termination of the tenancy and the claim for compensation in the application. Therefore, the
tenancy shall terminate and the Tenant shall be ordered to pay compensation.
2. The Landlord terminated the employment of the Tenant on August 3, 2022. The Tenant has
not vacated the superintendent's premises and more than one week has passed since their
employment was terminated.
3. With respect to the claim for compensation, I adopt the reasons set out in Drewlo Holdings
Inc v Boyle, 2021 CanLII 119247 (ON LTB) to find that the Landlord is entitled to
compensation for the use and occupation of the rental unit from August 11, 2022 until the
2023 ONLTB 38451 (CanLII)
Tenant vacates the rental unit.

4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily compensation is $58.68. This amount is calculated as
follows: $1,785.00 x 12, divided by 365 days.
5. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to
reimbursement of those costs.
6. There is no last month's rent deposit.
7. 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 be unfair to grant relief
from eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) of the Act.
It is ordered that:
1. The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenant is terminated. The Tenant must move
out of the rental unit on or before May 22, 2023.
2. If the unit is not vacated on or before May 22, 2023, then starting May 23, 2023, the
Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction
may be enforced.
3. 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 May 23, 2023.
4. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $14,307.20, representing compensation for use and
occupation of the rental unit from August 11, 2022 to May 10, 2023.
5. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlord compensation of $52.60 per day for the use of the
unit starting May 11, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit.
6. The Tenant shall also pay to the Landlord $186.00 for the cost of filing the application.
7. The total amount the Tenant owes the Landlord to May 10, 2023 is $14,493.20.
8. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before May 22, 2023,
the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from May 23,
2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
