What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant for personal use, claiming she requires the basement unit to expand her home-based social media influencer business and for personal wellness activities. The Tenant argued that the application was made in bad faith due to a breakdown in their relationship following disputes over Wi-Fi and the use of non-toxic laundry products.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective October 31, 2025. The Landlord was found to have a genuine intent to occupy the basement for her personal business needs. The Tenant is ordered to pay $11,069.40 for compensation and filing costs, plus $32.01 per day until they vacate the unit. The eviction was postponed until October 31, 2025, to provide the Tenant additional time to move.
