Notice to Terminate a Tenancy Early for Wilful Damage (N7)

Landlord

H.

Tenant

T., W.

What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to allegations that Tenant W.C. deliberately flooded the basement with a garden hose, causing damage to the TV, cooking range, and floor.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed as the Landlord did not provide sufficient evidence to support the claim that the Tenants wilfully damaged the rental unit or residential complex.
