What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to illegal drug activity and damages to the rental unit. The tenancy was previously terminated by an ex parte order, so the only live issue was the Landlord's claim for damages.
The ruling
The Landlord's application is dismissed. The Landlord failed to establish that the property damage was caused by the wilful or negligent actions of the Tenant, another occupant, or a guest. The police, not the Tenant or anyone permitted in the unit by the Tenant, caused the damage to the door and doorframe during the raid.
