2023 ONLTB 29343 (CanLII) Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: R. v D., 2023 ONLTB 29343 Date: 2023-04-05 File Number: LTB-L-050646-22 In the matter of: 2, 32 LAKESHORE DR NORTH BAY ON P1A2A2 Between: E.R. Landlord And B.D. Tenants Sean Broadhead E.R. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict B.D. and Sean Broadhead (the 'Tenants') because the Tenants did not pay the rent that the Tenants owe. This application was heard by videoconference on March 27, 2023. Only the Landlord’s legal representative, Angie Gravelle, attended the hearing. As of 2:56pm, neither of the Tenants were 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 Tenants with a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Nonpayment of Rent (N4 Notice). The Tenants 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 Tenants were still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $1,076.25. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $35.38. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,076.25 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenants have not made any payments since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to March 31, 2023, are $9,128.75. Order Page: 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-050646-22 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 8. There is no last month's rent deposit. 9. The Tenants did not attend the hearing to make submissions regarding their unique 2023 ONLTB 29343 (CanLII) circumstances to consider any relief. 10. The Landlord has tried reaching out to the Tenants to negotiate a payment plan for the arrears by letter and also recently when they sent the Tenants the update form by regular mail. The Tenants have not followed up with the Landlord and have not communicated with the Landlord regarding a payment plan for the arrears. 11. 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 Landlord attempted to negotiate a repayment agreement with the Tenants, 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 Tenants is terminated unless the Tenants void this order. 2. The Tenants may void this order and continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlord or to the LTB in trust: • $10,391.00 if the payment is made on or before April 16, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 3. The Tenants may also make a motion at the LTB to void this order under section 74(11) of the Act, if the Tenants have paid the full amount owing as ordered plus any additional rent that became due after April 16, 2023, but before the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) enforces the eviction. The Tenants may only make this motion once during the tenancy. 4. If the Tenants do not pay the amount required to void this order the Tenants must move out of the rental unit on or before April 16, 2023 5. If the Tenants do not void the order, the Tenants shall pay to the Landlord $9,193.76. 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 Tenants shall also pay the Landlord compensation of $35.38 per day for the use of the unit starting March 28, 2023, until the date the Tenants move out of the unit. 7. If the Tenants do not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before April 16, 2023, the Tenants will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from April 17, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. The Landlord or the Tenants shall pay to the other any sum of money that is owed as a result of this order. Order Page: 2 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-050646-22 9. If the unit is not vacated on or before April 16, 2023, then starting April 17, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. 10. 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 April 17, 2023. 2023 ONLTB 29343 (CanLII) April 5, 2023 ____________________________ Terri van Huisstede Date Issued 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.
