Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: St. Thomas - Elgin Social Services v P.R., 2023 ONLTB 44258 2023 ONLTB 44258 (CanLII) Date: 2023-06-16 File Number: LTB-L-067789-22 In the matter of: 110, 76 CHURCHILL CRES ST THOMAS ON N5R1P8 Between: St. Thomas - Elgin Social Services Landlord And P.R. Tenant St. Thomas - Elgin Social Services (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict P.R. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on May 23, 2023. Only the Landlord’s agent, Lianne Pike (‘LP’), attended the hearing. Natalie Rosedale (‘NR’), a Tenant support person, attended the hearing and stated that the Tenant is in the hospital and could be there for a long time. As a result, NR said the Tenant chose not to attend this hearing. As of 11:36 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 $723.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $23.77. This amount is calculated as follows: $723.00 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 $8,438.00. Order Page: 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-067789-22 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. LP said that the Landlord has reached out to the Tenant numerous times over the last year 2023 ONLTB 44258 (CanLII) about arranging a payment plan, but the Tenant has not been receptive to these attempts. LP also said that the Tenant is in the hospital presently, and her understanding is that the Tenant will remain there until other suitable accommodation for the Tenant can be found. 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 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:  $9,347.00 if the payment is made on or before June 27, 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 27, 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 27, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $8,447.71. 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 $23.77 per day for the use of the unit starting May 24, 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 June 27, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from June 28, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. The Landlord or the Tenant shall pay to the other any sum of money that is owed as a result of this order. 9. If the unit is not vacated on or before June 27, 2023, then starting June 28, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced.
