What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy because the Tenant substantially interfered with the Landlord's lawful rights by failing to prepare the rental unit for a pest control treatment and refusing entry. An initial voidable N5 notice was served on October 15, 2024, followed by a second non-voidable N5 notice on October 25, 2024, after the Tenant failed to follow the preparation checklist. During the hearing, the Tenant disconnected before finalized consent was reached, but the Landlord indicated they were not seeking eviction if conditions were met.

The ruling

The tenancy continues provided the Tenant complies with specific conditions regarding pest control. The Tenant is ordered to allow the Landlord and its agents access for treatments upon proper notice and must prepare the unit according to the Landlord's instructions until July 2, 2026. If the Tenant breaches these conditions, the Landlord may apply for an ex parte eviction order under section 78. Additionally, the Tenant must pay the $186.00 application filing fee to the Landlord by July 31, 2025.
