What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant's failure to maintain the rental unit in an ordinary state of cleanliness, which substantially interfered with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment of the residential complex. The Landlord provided evidence of multiple inspections showing excessive clutter and unsanitary conditions in the unit.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective February 4, 2024 due to the Tenant's failure to maintain the rental unit in an ordinary state of cleanliness, which substantially interfered with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment. The Tenant must vacate the unit by February 11, 2024 and pay the Landlord $154.52, which includes the application fee and interest on the rent deposit.
