Order under Section 69 Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 2023 ONLTB 45894 (CanLII) Citation: R.W.S. v B. S., 2023 ONLTB 45894 Date: 2023-06-23 File Number: LTB-L-082300-22 In the matter of: 203, 96 R. Street BARRIE ON L4N1G6 Between: R.W.S. Landlord A. B.F.A.B.S. Tenants R.W.S. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy A. evict B. F. A. B. S. (the 'Tenants') because the Tenants did not pay the rent that the Tenants owe. This application was heard by videoconference on June 5, 2023. Only the Landlord’s Agent, Joey Kay, attended the hearing. As of 9:32 a.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 Landlord's evidence. Determinations: 1. The Landlord 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 $1,135.00. It is due on the 1st day of each month. 4. Based on the Monthly rent, the daily rent/compensation is $37.32. This amount is calculated as follows: $1,135.00 x 12, divided by 365 days. Order Page: 1 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-082300-22 5. The Tenants have paid $7,587.23 to the Landlord since the application was filed. 6. The rent arrears owing to June 30, 2023 are $1,952.03. 7. The Landlord incurred costs of $186.00 for filing the application A. is entitled to reimbursement of those costs. 2023 ONLTB 45894 (CanLII) 8. The Landlord collected a rent deposit of $1,044.86 from the Tenants A. 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 $20.75 is owing to the Tenants for the period from March 1, 2022 to June 5, 2023. 10. I have considered all of the disclosed circumstances in accordance with subsection 83(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the 'Act'), A. find that it would not be unfair to postpone the eviction until July 14, 2023 pursuant to subsection 83(1)(b) of the Act. The Landlord’s Agent acknowledged that the Tenants will be receiving assistance to pay off the balance of arrears. At the time of the hearing the Agent submitted that extending the termination date to June 30, 2023 would be fair considering these circumstances, therefore I find it is reasonable to allow an extension of 10 days past the standard 11-days due to the date this order is being written. It is ordered that: 1. The tenancy between the Landlord A. the Tenants is terminated unless the Tenants void this order. 2. The Tenants may void this order A. continue the tenancy by paying to the Landlord or to the LTB in trust: • $1,907.37 if the payment is made on or before June 30, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. OR • $3,132.37 if the payment is made on or before July 14, 2023. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 3. 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 July 14, 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 July 14, 2023 5. If the Tenants do not void the order, the Tenants shall pay to the Landlord $20.68. This amount includes rent arrears owing up to the date of the hearing A. the cost of filing the Order Page: 2 of 5  File Number: LTB-L-082300-22 application. The rent deposit A. interest the Landlord owes on the rent deposit are deducted from the amount owing by the Tenants. See Schedule 1 for the calculation of the amount owing. 6. The Tenants shall also pay the Landlord compensation of $37.32 per day for the use of the unit starting June 6, 2023 until the date the Tenant moves out of the unit. 2023 ONLTB 45894 (CanLII) 7. If the Tenants do not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before July 14, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest. This will be simple interest calculated from July 15, 2023 at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding. 8. The Landlord or the Tenants shall pay to the other any sum of money that is owed as a result of this order. 9. If the unit is not vacated on or before July 14, 2023, then starting July 15, 2023, the Landlord may file this order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) so that the eviction may be enforced. 10.
