What happened

The Landlord applied for eviction after the Tenant failed to remove cats that caused severe, life-threatening allergic reactions and asthma in the Landlord's children. Additionally, the Tenant was accused of allowing an unleashed aggressive dog to roam, removing a smoke detector, smoking in the unit against the lease, and frequent loud yelling and screaming that required police intervention.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective May 6, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to move out and pay the Landlord $1,428.90, which includes compensation for use of the unit and the filing fee, offset by the rent deposit and interest. The eviction was granted primarily because the Tenant's cats caused severe medical distress to the Landlord's children and the Tenant failed to rectify the situation or attend the hearing.
