What happened
The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy based on substantial interference (N7) and personal use (N12). The N12 application was withdrawn at the hearing. The Landlord alleged that the Tenant engaged in escalating fights, made threats, and repeatedly attempted to or successfully entered the Landlord's residential unit and backyard, terrifying the Landlord's young children and impacting the Landlord's mental health.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective August 24, 2025, due to the Tenant's substantial interference with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment. The Tenant is ordered to pay $6,295.45 for compensation and filing fees, plus $20.71 per day until they vacate. Relief from eviction was denied due to the ongoing nature of the Tenant's serious behavior and the impact on the safety of the Landlord's children.
