What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant's improper disposal of drug paraphernalia, which posed a serious safety risk to other tenants in the residential complex. The Landlord provided evidence of multiple incidents where needles and other drug paraphernalia were found in the common areas, leading to the temporary suspension of waste collection at the complex.

The Tenant was ordered to pay the Landlord $196.47, which includes compensation for use of the unit and the application filing fee.
