Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 2023 ONLTB 67291 (CanLII) Citation: K. v M., 2023 ONLTB 67291 Date: 2023-10-06 File Number: LTB-L-066800-22 In the matter of: UNIT 5, 27 MILL ST NORTH BRAMPTON ON L6X1S5 Between: M.S.K. Landlord And L.M. Tenant M.S.K. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict L.M. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on May 11, 2023. Only the Landlord attended the hearing along with his brother Satinder K. as a witness. As of 9:30 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. Preliminary Issue Regarding Attendance: The Landlord’s brother testified under oath that the Tenant and the Tenant’s support worker were aware of the hearing but they would not be attending. 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 $825.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. Order Page 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-066800-22 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $27.12. This amount is calculated as follows: $825.00 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 May 31, 2023 are $7,425.00. It should be noted the Landlord’s 2023 ONLTB 67291 (CanLII) L1/L9 is inaccurate. The rent arrears owing was calculated as $2,475.00 owing up to November 30, 2022, when the application was filed. New rent that has become due and owing since the application was filed up to May 31, 2023 is $4,950.00. 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. 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. 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: • $11,736.00 if the payment is made on or before October 17, 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 October 17, 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 October 17, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $7,084.32. 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 Tenant shall also pay the Landlord compensation of $27.12 per day for the use of the unit starting May 12, 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 October 17, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from October 18, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. Order Page 2 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-066800-22 8.
