What happened

The Co-op applied for an order to end the occupancy of the member unit and evict Blaise Gelinas (the 'Co-op Member') because the Co-op Member has substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Co-op or another member of the Co-op or occupant of the residential complex.

The ruling

The Co-op has established that the noise caused by the Co-op Member has substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the Co-op by other members. The Co-op's efforts to provide assistance have been fruitless. The only viable remedy is to terminate the Co-op Member's occupancy rights, but the termination is deferred to July 31, 2024 to allow the Co-op Member time to make new arrangements.
