Landlord And M.W. Tenant Bedford Properties & Estates Ltd. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict M.W. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. The Landlord also claimed charges related to NSF cheques. This application was heard by videoconference on May 23, 2023. Only the Landlord’s legal representative, Jeff Shabes attended the hearing. As of 2:50pm, 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. Order Page: 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-068115-22 3. The lawful rent is $1,343.30. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $44.16. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,343.30 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has paid $9,395.00 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 2023 ONLTB 41102 (CanLII) 6. The rent arrears owing to May 31, 2023 are $543.60. 7. The Landlord is entitled to $20.00 to reimburse the Landlord for administration charges and $5.00 for bank fees the Landlord incurred as a result of 1 cheque given by or on behalf of the Tenant which was returned NSF. 8. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 9. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,295.00 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. 10. Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $21.79 is owing to the Tenant for the period from January 1, 2021 to May 23, 2023. 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 to provide sufficient time for the Tenant to pay the balance of arrears and preserve the tenancy. 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: • $754.60 if the payment is made on or before May 31, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR • $2,097.90 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. Order Page: 2 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-068115-22 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 5. As of the date of the hearing, the amount of the rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit exceeds the arrears of rent, compensation and the cost of filing the application and unpaid NSF charges the Landlord is entitled to by $889.81. See 2023 ONLTB 41102 (CanLII) Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. However, the Landlord is authorized to deduct from the amount owing to the Tenant $44.16 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting May 24, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. 6. The Landlord or the Tenant shall pay to the other any sum of money that is owed as a result of this order. 7. 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. 8. 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.
