What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant's dog attacking another tenant's dog and not muzzling the dog as required. The Landlord also claimed compensation for expenses related to the Tenant's conduct.
The ruling
The Landlord's application is dismissed as the Landlord failed to provide direct evidence to support the allegations of substantial interference by the Tenant. The Landlord's hearsay evidence was not found to be necessary and reliable.
