Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: O.N. RESIDENCES CORP v B., 2023 ONLTB 30475 2023 ONLTB 30475 (CanLII) Date: 2023-04-18 File Number: LTB-L-050864-22 In the matter of: 738D, 468 O. ST N HAMILTON ON L8H4A6 Between: O.N. Landlord RESIDENCES CORP And L.M.B. Tenant O.N. RESIDENCES CORP (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict L.M.B. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on March 28, 2023. The Landlord’s representative, Jamuna Ganeson, attended the hearing. As of 9:57 am, 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 the 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 $1,450.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $47.67. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,450.00 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 March 31, 2023 are $13,063.80. 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. Order Page: 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-050864-22 8. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,450.00 from the Tenant and this deposit is still being held by the Landlord. 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 $29.00 is owing to the Tenant for the period 2023 ONLTB 30475 (CanLII) from June 10, 2022 to March 28, 2023. 10. The Landlord’s representative submitted that the Landlord sent letters to the Tenant on September 12, 2022, and on March 14, 2023, offering the Tenant an arrears repayment plan; however, the Tenant never responded to the Landlord’s correspondence. 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 Tenant, and find that it would be unfair to grant relief from eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) of the Act. 12. The Landlord’s representative was not aware of any circumstances that should be considered in a determination of whether to provide the Tenant with eviction relief, nor was the Tenant or their representative present at the hearing to provide submissions with respect to the Tenant’s relief from eviction. For these reasons, it would be unfair to the Landlord to grant the Tenant with eviction relief. 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:  $14,699.80 if the payment is made on or before April 29, 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 April 29, 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 April 29, 2023. 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $11,655.56. 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 Landlord owes on the rent deposit are 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 Landlord compensation of $47.67 per day for the use of the unit starting March 29, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit.

This will be simple interest calculated from April 30, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. If the unit is not vacated on or before April 29, 2023, then starting April 30, 2023, the 2023 ONLTB 30475 (CanLII) 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 April 30, 2023.
