What happened

Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to the Tenant (MB) substantially interfering with the Landlords' lawful rights by repeatedly refusing entry to the rental unit after the Landlord provided proper 24-hour written notice.

The ruling

The Tenant (MB) is ordered to allow the Landlord or its agent access to the rental unit with proper 24-hour written notice for the purposes of inspections and showings to prospective buyers. If the Tenant fails to comply, the Landlord can apply to the Board for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenants. The Tenants are also ordered to pay the Landlords $186 for the cost of filing the application.
