What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to serious impairment of safety. The Tenants covered the smoke detectors in their unit with plastic, preventing them from functioning properly.

The ruling

Until July 7, 2022, the Tenants shall not tamper with or alter the smoke detectors in the building in any way. If the Tenants contravene this order, the Landlord may, within 30 days and without notice to the Tenants, apply under section 78 of the RTA for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenants. The Tenants shall pay the Landlord's filing fee of $186.00. If they do not pay the full amount owing by July 19, 2021, they will owe simple interest calculated from July 20, 2021 at 2.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
