Tenant Peel Housing Corp Op As Peel Living (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Z.Y. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on May 9, 2023. The Landlord attended the hearing. The Landlord was represented by Sophia Dixon. As of 11:19 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 $1,460.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. Order Page: 1 of 3  4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $48.00. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,460.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has paid $5,740.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to May 31, 2023 are $3,994.77. 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to 2023 ONLTB 40321 (CanLII) reimbursement of those costs. File Number: LTB-L-062201-22 8. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $683.24 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 $20.84 is owing to the Tenant for the period from January 1, 2021 to May 9, 2023. 10. 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 not be unfair to grant relief from eviction subject to the conditions set out in this order pursuant to subsection 83(1)(a) and 204(1) of the Act. It is ordered that: 1. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $4,180.77, which represents the arrears of rent ($3,994.77) and costs ($186.00) outstanding for the period ending May 31, 2023. 2.
