What happened
The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant based on allegations of illegal acts within the residential complex, specifically theft from another unit and threatening a fellow resident with a hammer. The Landlord also sought compensation for post-termination occupancy. The Tenant contested the eviction, citing mental health issues and a need for accommodation.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective February 28, 2026. The eviction is postponed until that date to allow for discharge planning, provided the Tenant does not commit any further illegal acts in the residential complex. If the Tenant breaches this condition, the Landlord may apply for an immediate eviction order under section 78. The Tenant is also ordered to pay the Landlord $186.00 for the application filing fee.
