Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: CDSSAB - Housing Services v D.W., 2023 ONLTB 37846 2023 ONLTB 37846 (CanLII) Date: 2023-05-17 File Number: LTB-L-060656-22 In the matter of: 347 Fifteenth Avenue COCHRANE ON P0L1C0 Between: CDSSAB - Housing Services Landlord And D.W. Tenant CDSSAB - Housing Services (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict D.W. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on April 26, 2023. Only the Landlord’s agent L. St. Jacques attended the hearing. As of 10:08am, the Tenant was not present or represented at the hearing although properly served with notice of this hearing by the LTB. 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 $934.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $30.71. This amount is calculated as follows: $934.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has paid $5,345.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to April 30, 2023 are $2,876.95. 7. There is no last month's rent deposit. 8. Section 83 requires that I consider all the circumstances, including the Tenant’s and the Landlord’s situations to determine if it would be appropriate to grant section 83 relief from eviction. Order Page: 1 of 4 File Number: LTB-L-060656-22 9. The Landlord’s agent advised that the Landlord has tried to reach out to the Tenant for a repayment plan, without success. The Tenant is believed to be working and to have children. The Landlord’s agent was not made aware of any health issues or other relevant issues for consideration under s.83. The Tenant did not attend the hearing, and thus did not provide any evidence that may be relevant to my determination under s. 83. 2023 ONLTB 37846 (CanLII) 10. I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances in accordance with subsection 83 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (RTA), including whether the Landlord attempted to negotiate a repayment agreement with the Tenant, and find that it would be unfair to deny eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) 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:  $3,810.95 if the payment is made on or before May 31, 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 May 31, 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 May 31, 2023 5. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlord compensation of $30.71 per day for the use of the unit starting April 27, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. 6. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before May 31, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from June 1, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 7. The Landlord or the Tenant shall pay to the other any sum of money that is owed as a result of this order. 8. If the unit is not vacated on or before May 31, 2023, then starting June 1, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. Order Page: 2 of 4 File Number: LTB-L-060656-22 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 June 1, 2023. 2023 ONLTB 37846 (CanLII) May 17, 2023 Date Issued Peter Nicholson 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.
