What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to wilful damage to the rental unit, substantial interference with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment, and impairment of safety. The Tenant had converted the residential unit into a workshop without the Landlord's consent, causing significant damage.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective March 28, 2020, the date the Tenant vacated the rental unit. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $1,730 for the reasonable costs of repairing the damage, $730.69 for compensation for use of the unit, and $175 for the application filing fee.
