What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant, claiming they required vacant possession to perform major repairs or renovations. The Landlord also sought compensation for each day the Tenant remained after the termination date. However, the Landlord failed to attend the hearing, resulting in the application being dismissed as abandoned.

The ruling

The Landlord's application was dismissed due to their absence at the hearing. The Board imposed costs of $400 on the Landlord for unreasonable conduct, citing the unnecessary use of resources for abandoned applications. The tenancy remains intact, and no eviction order was issued.
