What happened

The landlord applied to evict the tenant due to illegal acts (possession of firearms and drugs) committed by the tenant's son in the rental unit, which seriously impaired the safety of others in the residential complex. The Landlord and Tenant Board ordered the eviction, which was upheld on appeal to the Divisional Court.

The ruling

The Divisional Court dismissed the tenant's appeal and upheld the Landlord and Tenant Board's decision to terminate the tenancy and evict the tenant due to illegal acts committed by the tenant's son in the rental unit, which seriously impaired the safety of others in the residential complex.
