What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to persistent late payment of rent and substantial interference with the Landlord's lawful rights, interests and privileges, as well as wilful or negligent damage to the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for eviction is denied on the condition that the Tenant takes specific steps to address the issues in the rental unit, including removing debris and clutter, removing the unauthorized room and shed, repairing the storm door, treating the flea infestation, and arranging for property standards and electrical inspections. The Tenant must also pay rent on time for 12 months. If the Tenant fails to comply, the Landlord may apply for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenant.
