What happened
The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial interference with the Landlord's and other tenants' reasonable enjoyment and lawful rights. The allegations included repeated refusal of entry for pest management, extreme unsanitary conditions involving thousands of cockroaches, and the presence of uncapped syringes throughout the unit, posing a safety risk to staff.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective November 18, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to move out and pay the Landlord $821.23 for the application fee and compensation for use of the unit up to the hearing date, plus $4.57 per day until they vacate. Relief from eviction was denied due to persistent health and safety hazards, specifically uncapped syringes and severe cockroach infestations.
