What happened
The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy because the Tenant repeatedly denied the Landlord and property manager access to the rental unit for inspections, despite proper 24-hour written notice. The Tenant argued the inspections were in bad faith as none had occurred in five years.
The ruling
The tenancy is allowed to continue provided the Tenant complies with a 12-month condition to permit the Landlord entry with proper notice. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $186.00 for the application filing fee by November 7, 2025. Failure to follow the entry conditions allows the Landlord to apply for an ex parte eviction order within 30 days of the breach.
