What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to their failure to properly prepare the rental unit for pest control treatment, which substantially interfered with the Landlord's lawful interests. The Landlord also sought compensation for the cost of the failed pest control treatment.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 15, 2020. The Tenants must vacate the rental unit by that date. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $175 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by August 15, 2020, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
