2023 ONLTB 46280 (CanLII) Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 Citation: Alta Place Property Management Inc v P.M., 2023 ONLTB 46280 Date: 2023-06-22 File Number: LTB-L-082097-22 In the matter of: 607, 31 HIGH ST E MISSISSAUGA ON L5G1J9 Between: Alta Place Property Management Inc Landlord And P.M. Tenant Alta Place Property Management Inc (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict P.M. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on May 25, 2023. Only the Landlord’s legal representative, L. Goncalves, attended the hearing. As of 2:37 p.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. As of the hearing date, the Tenant was still in possession of the rental unit. 3. The lawful rent is $1,490.73. It is due on the 1st day of each month. Order Page: 1 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-082097-22 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $49.01. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,490.73 x 12, divided by 365 days. 5. The Tenant has paid $8,745.40 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to May 31, 2023 are $212.53. 2023 ONLTB 46280 (CanLII) 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application and is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 8. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,490.73 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 $11.64 is owing to the Tenant for the period from February 1, 2023 to May 25, 2023. 10. The Landlord requests a standard termination order. 11. The Landlord’s legal representative said that the Landlord sent the Tenant monthly letters requesting payment of the arrears, as well as suggesting a payment plan. She said that the Tenant has continued to pay the rent, but there are still arrears owed, as well as the cost of filing the application. 12. I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances above 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 I find that it would be unfair to grant relief from eviction pursuant to subsection 83(1) of the Act. In particular, the Tenant has not responded to the Landlord’s communications about the arrears, and the Tenant did not attend the hearing to provide any information about why they have not paid the arrears, nor why the Board should deny or delay eviction. 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: • $1,889.26 if the payment is made on or before June 30, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR • $3,379.99 if the payment is made on or before July 3, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing.

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 July 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 2023 ONLTB 46280 (CanLII) move out of the rental unit on or before July 3, 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 the Landlord is entitled to by $1,369.32. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. However, the Landlord is authorized to deduct from the amount owing to the Tenant $49.01 per day for compensation for the use of the unit starting May 26, 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 July 3, 2023, then starting July 4, 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 4, 2023.
