In the matter of: 106, 221 Melvin Avenue
Hamilton ON L8H2K1
Between: Melvin Apartments Inc. Landlord
And
R.S. Tenants
Ramona Sookraj
On October 18, 2022, Melvin Apartments Inc. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the
tenancy and evict R.S. and Ramona Sookraj (the 'Tenants') and for an order to have
the Tenants pay the rent they owe, because the Tenants did not meet a condition specified in the
order issued by the LTB on October 5, 2022, with respect to application LTB-L-014396-22.
This application was decided without a hearing being held.
Determinations:
1. The order provides that the Landlord can apply to the LTB under section 78 of the
Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the 'Act') without notice to the Tenants to terminate the
tenancy and evict the Tenants if the Tenants does not meet certain condition(s) in the
order. This application was filed within 30 days of the breach.
2. I find that the Tenants have not met the following condition specified in the order: The
Tenants failed to pay to the Landlord the lawful rent in full, on or before October 1,
2022.
3. The previous application includes a request for an order for the payment of arrears of rent
and the order requires the Tenants to make payments by specific due dates. Accordingly,
in addition to eviction, the Landlord is entitled to request an order for the payment of
arrears owing.

4. The Tenants were required to pay $10,278.40 for rent arrears and the application filing fee
in the previous order. The amount that is still owing from that order is $10,278.40 and that
amount is included in this order. This order replaces order LTB-L-014396-22.
5. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $2,000.00 from the Tenants and this deposit is still
being held by the Landlord.
2023 ONLTB 14638 (CanLII)
6. Interest on the rent deposit is owing to the Tenants for the period from May 01, 2020, to
January 13, 2023.
File Number: LTB-L-073200-22
7. The amount of the rent deposit and interest on the rent deposit is applied to the amount the
Tenants are required to pay.
8. The Landlord is entitled to daily compensation from the day after this order is issued to the
date the Tenants moves out of the unit at a daily rate of $67.87. This amount is calculated
as follows: $2,064.48 x 12, divided by 365 days.
It is ordered that:
1. Order LTB-L-014396-22 is cancelled.
2. The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenants is terminated. The Tenants must move
out of the rental unit on or before January 24, 2023.
3. If the unit is not vacated on or before January 24, 2023, then starting January 25, 2023, the
Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction
may be enforced.
4. 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 January 25, 2023.
5. The Tenants shall pay to the Landlord $15,298.95*(Less any payments made by the
Tenants after this application was filed on October 18, 2022). This amount represents
the rent owing up to January 13, 2023, less the rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes
on the rent deposit.
6. The Tenants shall also pay to the Landlord $67.87 per day for compensation for the use of
the unit starting January 14, 2023, to the date the Tenant moves out of the unit.
7. If the Tenants do not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before January 24,
2023, the Tenants will start to owe interest. This will be a simple interest calculated from
January 25, 2023, at 5.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
