What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant's conduct substantially interfering with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant. The Landlord served two N5 notices on the Tenant for incidents of harassment, vandalism, and disruptive behavior.

The ruling

The Landlord's application was granted. The tenancy is terminated effective July 13, 2024, and the Tenant must vacate the unit by that date. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $1,822.06, which includes compensation for use of the unit and the application filing fee. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by July 13, 2024, they will owe interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
