1. On October 31, 2011, HA’s rental unit and other parts of the residential complex were severely damaged by a spreading stove top grease fire caused by a person permitted to be in apartment #3 by HA.

(...)

4. After the fire, HA temporarily resided with SM in SM’s apartment which is located in the same residential complex. HA was a temporary guest of SM. The Landlord was not entitled to collect additional compensation from either SM or HA during HA’s brief guest stay.

5. The Landlord received $799.00 from Ontario Disability Support Program as payment towards HA’s November 2011 rent for unit #3. The Landlord was not entitled to retain this payment because HA was no longer entitled too occupy apartment #3. The Landlord collected rent in excess of the amount allowed by the Act and the Landlord must return $799.00 to Ontario Disability Support Program.
