What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant's failure to allow Landlord access to the rental unit for pest control treatment, despite proper notice of entry. The Tenant also used vulgar and derogatory language towards the Landlord's contractors and representatives.

The ruling

The Tenant shall permit the Landlord to enter the rental unit pursuant to a valid notice of entry, and prepare the unit in advance of any pest control treatment. The Tenant shall not make vulgar or derogatory comments to the Landlord, the Landlord's staff or other representatives in the residential complex for a period of no less than twelve months. If the Tenant fails to comply with these conditions, the Landlord may apply to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant.
