What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to substantial interference with the Landlord's lawful rights or interests and reasonable enjoyment of the premises, as well as undue damage to the property. The Landlord alleged the Tenants failed to keep the gas account up to date, resulting in the gas being disconnected, and that a guest/occupant of the Tenant started a fire on the property that burnt out a vehicle and damaged a tree.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 25, 2020. The Tenants must vacate the rental unit by that date. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $34.52 per day for use of the unit from August 26, 2020 until they move out, as well as $175 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by August 25, 2020, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
