What happened

Landlord applied to terminate tenancy and evict Tenants due to substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment, committing an illegal act, and seriously impairing safety. The dispute centered around an altercation between Tenant G.A. and the Landlord's special constables in the parking lot of the complex.

The ruling

The Board dismissed the Landlord's application for eviction, finding that eviction would be unfair and punitive given the circumstances. The incident had been addressed through the criminal justice system, and no further issues had occurred in over a year since the event.
