Landlord And Y.Z. Tenant WCPT Princess Inc. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Y. Z. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on June 19, 2023. Only the Landlord’s legal representative, Sara Murtadha, attended the hearing. As of 9:45 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. The Tenant was in possession of the rental unit on the date the application was filed. 3. The Tenant vacated the rental unit on April 27, 2023. Rent arrears are calculated up to the date the Tenant vacated the unit. 4. The lawful rent is $822.69. It was due on the 1st day of each month. 5. The Tenant has paid $4,113.45 to the Landlord since the application was filed. Order Page: 1 of 4 6. The rent arrears owing to April 27, 2023 are $1,553.04. 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to 2023 ONLTB 46589 (CanLII) reimbursement of those costs. 8. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $814.00 from the Tenant and this deposit is still being held by the Landlord. The rent deposit is applied to the arrears of rent because the tenancy terminated. 9. Interest on the rent deposit, in the amount of $26.05 is owing to the Tenant for the period from September 1, 2021 to April 27, 2023. It is ordered that: 1. The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenant is terminated as of April 27, 2023, the date the Tenant moved out of the rental unit 2. The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $898.99. This amount includes rent arrears owing up to the date the Tenant moved out of the rental unit and the cost of filing the application. The rent deposit and interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit is deducted from the amount owing by the Tenant. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 3. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before July 7, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from July 8, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
