What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant because the Tenant, another occupant of the rental unit or a person the Tenant permitted in the residential complex has seriously impaired the safety of any person. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenant remained in the unit after the termination date.
The ruling
The Tenant shall keep combustible material in the rental unit to a maximum 750 mm (2.5 feet) in height, in all rooms of the apartment. All furniture in the unit shall be used for its ordinary and intended purpose. All aisles to and from each room in the rental unit shall be free from clutter and obstructions and shall be a minimum of 750 mm (2.5 feet) in width. All combustible material shall be spaced, or placed, a minimum of 450 mm (18 inches) from all sources of ignition. The Tenant's rental unit must be compliant with these conditions on or before May 22, 2021 and remain compliant until May 21, 2022. The Landlord may inspect the Tenant's unit once per month from May 23, 2021 to May 21, 2022 for compliance. If the Tenant fails to comply or interferes with the Landlord's inspections, the Landlord may apply for termination of the tenancy and eviction of the Tenant. The Tenant shall pay the Landlord $175.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by May 22, 2021, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
