Landlord And M.B. Tenant 2653244 Ontario Inc. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict M.B. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on May 11, 2023. The Landlord's Legal Representative, L. McCullough, attended the hearing. As of 1:48 p.m., the Tenant was not present or represented at the hearing although properly served with notice of this hearing by the Board. 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 $1,076.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $35.38. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,076.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. Order Page: 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-074143-22 5. The Tenant has not made any payments since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to May 31, 2023 are $8,202.00. 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 2023 ONLTB 39129 (CanLII) 8. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,050.00 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. 9. Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $33.01 is owing to the Tenant for the period from February 7, 2022 to May 11, 2023. 10. I have considered all 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. The amount outstanding is substantial, and the Tenant has not paid any rent since the application was filed. 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: • $8,388.00 if the payment is made on or before May 31, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR • $9,464.00 if the payment is made on or before June 3, 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 3, 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 3, 2023 5. If the Tenant does not void the order, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $6,618.17. This amount includes rent arrears owing up to the date of the hearing and the cost of filing the application. The rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit are deducted Order Page: 2 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-074143-22 from the amount owing by the Tenant. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 6. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlord compensation of $35.38 per day for the use of the unit starting May 12, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. 2023 ONLTB 39129 (CanLII) 7. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before June 3, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from June 4, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. If the unit is not vacated on or before June 3, 2023, then starting June 4, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. 9. 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 June 4, 2023.
