What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants alleging illegal drug-related activities, specifically trafficking or production. The Landlord claimed to have encountered individuals seeking to buy drugs at the property and observed suspicious items inside the unit. The Tenants did not attend the hearing. The adjudicator found that the evidence presented was insufficient to prove trafficking or production on a balance of probabilities, noting that the items observed could be for personal use.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for termination of the tenancy and eviction based on illegal drug-related activity is dismissed. The Landlord failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish that drug trafficking or production was occurring at the rental unit, as the evidence presented was consistent with personal use which does not meet the legal threshold for this specific eviction ground.
