What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant storing an excessive amount of combustibles in the rental unit, which seriously impaired the safety of the Tenant, other residents, staff, and emergency personnel.

The ruling

The Tenant is ordered to be in full compliance with the Fire Code Order issued on March 2, 2021 by June 30, 2021. If the Tenant complies, they must maintain the rental unit in a state of ordinary cleanliness for a further one-year period starting on July 1, 2021. The Landlord may inspect the unit to ensure compliance. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $186 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by June 30, 2021, they will start to owe simple interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
