What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant substantially interfering with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant. The Landlord claimed the Tenant held noisy parties with too many visitors not adhering to COVID social distancing protocols.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for termination of the tenancy was dismissed as the Landlord's notices of termination were found to be defective.
