What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to the Tenants seriously impairing the safety of other persons in the residential complex. The Landlord alleged the Tenants failed to properly prepare the rental unit for pest control treatments, including failing to remove flammable and explosive materials, which posed a serious safety risk.

The ruling

The Landlord proved the Tenants seriously impaired the safety of others by storing flammable/explosive materials in the unit during pest control treatments. However, the LTB granted relief from eviction and ordered the Tenants to comply with requirements for pest control treatments, with the Landlord able to apply for eviction if the Tenants fail to comply.
