What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants alleging that the Tenants or their guests substantially interfered with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment and caused willful or negligent damage. Specifically, a plumber found baby wipes clogging the unit's lavatory, causing a leak and requiring repairs. The Landlord sought repair costs and eviction, though later specified a preference for a payment order given the Tenants' long-term residency.

The ruling

The tenancy continues provided the Tenants pay the Landlord $545.34 (repair costs plus filing fee) by December 31, 2025. If the Tenants fail to make the payment by the deadline, the Landlord is permitted to apply for an eviction order under Section 78 without further notice to the Tenants. Simple interest of 4% per year will accrue on any outstanding balance starting January 1, 2026.
