What happened

The Landlord applied for eviction based on non-payment of rent and substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment. The Tenants allegedly accumulated significant amounts of garbage, metal car parts, and scrap metal in the shared yard and laundry room, leading to notices from the City of Toronto. The Landlord also sought compensation for damages, though this claim was analyzed as a matter of out-of-pocket expenses rather than property repair.

The ruling

The LTB ordered the termination of the tenancy unless the Tenants pay $1,846.60 by October 20, 2025. If the payment is made, the tenancy continues on the condition that the Tenants remove all garbage, car parts, and scrap metal from the rear yard and shared laundry room by November 9, 2025, and keep those areas clean for a period of one year.
