What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant denying the Landlord entry to the rental unit to perform necessary updates to the fire detection and alarm system on various dates outlined in the N5 notice of termination, despite receiving 24 hours written notice from the Landlord.
The ruling
The Landlord's application for eviction of the Tenant is denied on the condition that the Tenant shall not deny entry to the Landlord so long as the Landlord's entry is in accordance with the Act. If the Tenant fails to comply with this condition, the Landlord may apply for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenant within 30 days of the breach. The Tenant shall also pay the Landlord $186.00 for the cost of filing the application.
