What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant substantially interfering with the Landlord's lawful right to have a key to the rental unit. The Landlord claimed the Tenant changed the lock without permission and did not provide a working copy of the key.
The ruling
The Landlord's application for eviction of the Tenant is denied on the condition that the Tenant shall, on or before July 31, 2022, provide the Landlord with a working key to the rental unit and shall not alter the locking system on the rental unit door for the duration of the tenancy. If the Tenant fails to abide by these conditions, the Landlord may apply for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenant. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $186.00 for the cost of filing the application on or before August 1, 2022, and if the Tenant does not pay the full amount by that date, the Tenant will start to owe interest.
