What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to substantial interference, wilful or negligent damage, and serious impairment of safety. The Landlords alleged that the Tenants' dogs were regularly at large, causing neighbor complaints, and that the Tenants or their dogs caused significant damage to the rental unit. The Landlords also alleged that the Tenants threatened them on two occasions, seriously impairing their safety.

The ruling

The Landlords' application is granted. The tenancy is terminated effective March 25, 2025, and the Tenants must vacate the rental unit by that date. The Tenants must pay the Landlords $15,760.06, which includes rent arrears, damages, and the application filing fee, minus the rent deposit. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by March 25, 2025, they will owe interest at 5% annually on the outstanding balance.
