What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant, and because the Tenant wilfully or negligently caused undue damage to the premises. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenant remained in the unit after the termination date.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The Tenant will be able to maintain the tenancy with assistance from the Public Guardian and Trustee and the Tenant's social worker to ensure the rental unit is kept in a state of ordinary cleanliness.
