What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant's repeated overloading of the electrical circuit breakers by using multiple electric space heaters and fireplaces, as well as leaving unattended burning candles that posed a fire hazard.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated, and the Tenant must vacate the rental unit by May 15, 2021. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $186 for the application filing fee. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by May 15, 2021, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance starting May 16, 2021. If the unit is not vacated by May 15, 2021, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction, and the Sheriff is requested to expedite the enforcement.
