What happened

The Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment and serious impairment of safety. Allegations included constant fighting between the Tenant and a guest, an assault on another tenant by the guest (hair pulling), destruction of property by a dog, and threats made by the Tenant to hire someone to physically harm neighbors if evicted. The conduct was found to be serious, threatening, and egregious, resulting in the impairment of safety for multiple residents, one of whom suffered a stroke during the period of conflict.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective May 7, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay $3,226.20 to the Landlord for daily compensation and the filing fee, after deducting the rent deposit and interest. However, the adjudicator ordered that this amount will be waived if the Tenant vacates the unit by May 3, 2025. If the Tenant does not vacate, the Landlord may enforce the eviction through the Sheriff starting May 8, 2025.
