Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: TVM TOWER RESIDENCES INC v Sylvain Meunier, 2023 ONLTB 33078 2023 ONLTB 33078 (CanLII) Date: 2023-04-26 File Number: LTB-L-056077-22 In the matter of: 503, 212 BROCK ST PETERBOROUGH ON K9H2P5 Between: TVM TOWER RESIDENCES INC Landlord And M.L. Tenant Sylvain Meunier TVM TOWER RESIDENCES INC (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict M.L. and Sylvain Meunier (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on April 13, 2023. Only the Landlord attended the hearing. As of 10:03 a.m., 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 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 $1,194.75. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $39.28. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,194.75 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has paid $6,412.44 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to April 30, 2023 are $2424.61. 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. Order Page: 1 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-056077-22 8. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,089.00 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. The Landlord was unaware of any circumstances that the Board should consider granting 2023 ONLTB 33078 (CanLII) relief. The Landlord believed that one Tenant was employed, and the other was in receipt of ODSP. The parties held discussions regarding a repayment plan, however they were unable to reach an agreement. 10. The Board notes that the Tenant has made significant efforts to pay arrears, such that as of the day of the hearing, the arrears are more or less 2 months of rent. For this reason, I am satisfied that it would be reasonable to postpone eviction in order to afford the Tenants time to seek assistance from a rent bank or other social services agency and to pay off the arrears and void this order. 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 June 30, 2023 pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. 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:  $2,610.61 if the payment is made on or before April 30, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR  $3,805.36 if the payment is made on or before May 31, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR  $5,000.11 if the payment is made on or before June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2023 Order Page: 2 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-056077-22 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $837.50. 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 2023 ONLTB 33078 (CanLII) 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 $39.28 per day for the use of the unit starting April 14, 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 May 7, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from May 8, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. If the unit is not vacated on or before June 30, 2023, then starting July 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 July 1, 2023.
