What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to allegations of undue damage to the premises and illegal activity involving drugs and firearms. The Landlord's allegations were based on hearsay evidence from third parties who did not testify at the hearing.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The Board found that the Landlord did not provide sufficient direct evidence to prove that the Tenants engaged in any illegal activity at the rental unit or residential complex.
