Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 2023 ONLTB 39108 (CanLII) Citation: Nalagini Selvasingam v J. D., 2023 ONLTB 39108 Date: 2023-05-25 File Number: LTB-L-072899-22 In the matter of: 48 BIRCH ST RR 2 NORWOOD ON K0L2V0 Between: M.S. Landlords Nalagini Selvasingam And B.L.I.L.J.D. Tenants and Katie D. M.S. and Nalagini Selvasingam (the 'Landlords') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict B.L.I.L.J.D. and Katie D. (the 'Tenants') because the Tenants did not pay the rent that the Tenants owe. This application was heard by videoconference on May 10, 2023. Only the Landlords attended the hearing. As of 2:37 p.m., the Tenants were 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 Landlords's evidence. Determinations: 1. The Landlords served the Tenants with a valid Notice to End Tenancy Early for Nonpayment of Rent (N4 Notice). The Tenants 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 Tenants were still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $1,900.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $62.47. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,900.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenants have paid $3,800.00 to the Landlords since the application was filed. Order Page: 1 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-072899-22 6. The rent arrears owing to May 31, 2023 are $11,250.00. 7.

I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances in accordance with subsection 83 of 2023 ONLTB 39108 (CanLII) the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (RTA), including the impact of COVID-19 on the parties and whether the Landlord attempted to negotiate a repayment agreement with the Tenants, 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 Landlords and the Tenants is terminated unless the Tenants void this order. 2. The Tenants may void this order and continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlords or to the LTB in trust: • $11,436.00 if the payment is made on or before May 31, 2023.

The Tenants may also make a motion at the LTB to void this order under section 74(11) of the Act, if the Tenants have paid the full amount owing as ordered plus any additional rent that became due after June 5, 2023 but before the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) enforces the eviction. The Tenants may only make this motion once during the tenancy. 4. If the Tenants do not pay the amount required to void this order the Tenants must move out of the rental unit on or before June 5, 2023 5. If the Tenants do not void the order, the Tenants shall pay to the Landlords $10,160.70. 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 Tenants shall also pay the Landlords compensation of $62.47 per day for the use of the unit starting May 11, 2023 until the date the Tenants moves out of the unit. 7. If the Tenants do not pay the Landlords the full amount owing on or before June 5, 2023, the Tenants will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from June 6, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8.
