What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant's display of a female mannequin torso in different degrees of dress, which the Landlord claims has substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The Tenant has a right to artistic creation and expression, and the alleged interference is trivial and insufficient to constitute a nuisance or interference.
