What happened

Landlord applied for termination of tenancy and eviction due to Tenant seriously impairing safety by repeatedly removing smoke detectors and disabling the sprinkler system in the rental unit, posing a risk to all residents in the complex.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 23, 2022, due to the Tenant's serious impairment of safety. The Tenant must pay $913.52 to the Landlord by July 23, 2022, and vacate the unit. An expedited eviction order is granted due to the serious nature of the safety violations.
