What happened

Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to the Tenants seriously impairing the safety of others by blocking the fire escape and fire exit, and wilfully causing undue damage to the rental unit by allowing a dog to urinate on the hardwood floors.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 4, 2022. The Tenants must vacate the rental unit by that date. If they do not, the Landlords may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction. The Tenants must pay the Landlords $3,000 for the damage to the hardwood floors and $186 for the application filing costs, for a total of $3,311. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by November 4, 2022, they will owe interest at 4% annually on the outstanding balance starting November 5, 2022.
