What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant because the Tenant, another occupant of the rental unit or a person the Tenant permitted in the residential complex has seriously impaired the safety of any person and the act or omission occurred in the residential complex.
The ruling
The parties before the Board requested an order on consent requiring the Tenant to remove her dog from the rental unit and residential complex on a permanent basis. However, the adjudicator was not prepared to issue such an order as it would be contrary to section 14 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. Instead, the adjudicator ordered that the Tenant shall not permit or allow her dog to be outside the confines of the rental unit at the residential complex unless it is securely leashed and muzzled at all times. The Tenant was also ordered to pay the Landlord $186.00 for the cost of filing the application, and if the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing by April 1, 2023, they will start to owe interest at 5.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
