What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to allegations of illegal acts, such as watching pornography and masturbating in common areas, stealing other tenants' clothing, failing to maintain physical distancing during COVID-19, and storing excessive items on the balcony that have fallen or been thrown off.

The ruling

The Board deferred the allegations related to garbage in the hallways and the alleged threat, as they did not give rise to an urgent need for eviction. The remaining allegations related to public pornography and masturbation, clothing theft, balcony storage, and failure to maintain physical distancing were considered urgent and will be heard on an expedited basis.
