What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial interference with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment and lawful rights, as well as willful or negligent damage to the rental unit. The Landlord also sought compensation for repairs and daily use of the unit. Evidence showed the unit was in a state of extreme disrepair, with garbage, debris, clogged fixtures, and structural damage to doors and walls. The Tenant failed to void the N5 notice by rectifying the issues within the seven-day period and did not attend the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective December 7, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $2,171.79, representing repair costs for undue damage, daily compensation for unit occupation, and the application filing fee. If the Tenant does not vacate by the specified date, the Landlord may enforce the eviction through the Sheriff.
