What happened
The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant because the Tenant, another occupant of the rental unit or someone the Tenant permitted in the residential complex has substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant, and the Tenant, another occupant of the rental unit or someone the Tenant permitted in the residential complex has wilfully or negligently caused damage to the premises.
The ruling
The tenancy between the Landlord and the Tenant continues if the Tenant meets the conditions set out in the order. The Tenant shall refrain from damaging the rental unit, not tamper with any smoke alarms or smoke detectors in the unit, and refrain from attempting to repair any damages caused in the rental unit for a period of one year. If the Tenant fails to comply with the conditions, the Landlord may apply for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenant. The Tenant shall pay the Landlord $1,500.00, which represents the reasonable costs of repairing the damage or replacing the damaged property, and $500.00 starting February 1, 2024 and ending April 1, 2024. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing on or before April 1, 2024, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 7.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
