What happened

Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental complex and serious impairment of safety of others. The issues stemmed from the Tenant's dog and noise complaints.

The ruling

The Board granted the Tenant relief from eviction, subject to conditions that she maintain full control over her dog and not make unnecessary noise in her unit. Failure to comply will allow the Landlord to apply for an order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenant. The Tenant was also ordered to pay the Landlords $170 for the cost of filing the application.
