What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant based on multiple grounds including substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment, serious impairment of safety, illegal acts, and damage to property. The allegations centered on the Tenant playing loud music, leaving human biological waste at another tenant's door accompanied by racist remarks, and eventually stabbing that same tenant with scissors after being confronted about the waste.

The ruling

The LTB ordered the termination of the tenancy effective July 13, 2025, due to the Tenant's violent and harassing behavior, including stabbing a neighbor and distributing biological waste. The Tenant is ordered to vacate by that date and pay the Landlord $186.00 for the application filing fee. If the Tenant fails to vacate, the Landlord is authorized to enforce the eviction through the Sheriff starting July 14, 2025.
