What happened

The Landlord applied for termination of the tenancy and eviction because the Tenant substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment and lawful rights of the Landlord and other tenants. The allegations included significant intentional damage to the rental unit, tampering with fire safety equipment, activating fire alarms by spraying chemicals, and the discovery of stolen custodial supplies within the Tenant's unit. Despite the Landlord's attempts to provide mental health outreach, the Tenant refused to engage and continued to systematically dismantle the unit, eventually causing a water leak to the unit below by removing the toilet.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 21, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to vacate the unit by this date and pay the Landlord $186.00 for the application filing fee. If the Tenant remains in the unit past the termination date, they must pay daily compensation of $27.95 until they move out. The Landlord may enforce the eviction through the Sheriff starting July 22, 2025.
