What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to the Tenant routinely and consistently tampering with the smoke detector/fire alarm/CO2 detector in the rental unit, which has resulted in the Fire Department being dispatched on several occasions. The Landlord also claimed compensation for damage to the property.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective October 6, 2022. The Tenant must vacate the rental unit by that date. If the unit is not vacated, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) for enforcement. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $691.11, which includes compensation for the Tenant's use of the unit after the termination date, the cost of replacing the damaged fire alarms, and the application filing fee. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by October 6, 2022, the Tenant will owe interest on the outstanding balance.
