What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant repeatedly disabling the heat sensor in the apartment, which formed part of the fire alarm system, as well as other damage to the rental unit.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 18, 2020, and the Tenant must vacate the unit by that date. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $7,311.13 for the cost of repairs, $972.12 for compensation for use of the unit, and $175.00 for the application filing fee. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by November 18, 2020, the Tenant will start owing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
