What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to persistent late payment of rent and undue damage caused by the Tenant's autistic cousin pulling a fire alarm.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant is denied, subject to the Tenant meeting certain conditions. The Tenant must pay the full monthly rent on time for the next 12 months and repay the $1,441.46 in costs incurred by the Landlord for the false fire alarm. If the Tenant fails to meet these conditions, the Landlord may apply for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenant.
