What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to excessive clutter in the rental unit that substantially interfered with the Landlord's lawful rights and posed a safety hazard. The Tenant has a disability and has been unable to manage the clutter issue on their own.

The ruling

The Tenant shall ensure the unit is in a reasonable state of ordinary cleanliness and there is a clear path of egress by May 31, 2021. For 12 months from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2022, the Tenant shall maintain the unit in a reasonable state of cleanliness and ensure a clear path of egress. The Landlord shall coordinate with the Tenant's support workers to assist the Tenant in complying. If the Tenant does not comply, the Landlord may file an application for termination and eviction without notice. The Tenant shall pay the $201 application fee by August 31, 2021 or start owing interest.
