What happened

The Landlord applied to evict the Tenant for seriously impairing the safety of other residents. This was due to a severe hoarding situation in the Tenant's unit, which led to the City of London's Fire Department issuing a fire order. The Tenant failed to comply with the order, and the unit's condition worsened, creating a significant fire hazard for herself and others in the 12-storey building.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective April 28, 2025. The Tenant was found to have seriously impaired the safety of others by creating a severe fire hazard through hoarding and by failing to comply with a fire department order. The Tenant's request for relief from eviction was denied. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord's $186.00 application fee by the termination date.
