What happened

Landlord applied to reopen a previous application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to allegations that the Tenant substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the residential complex. The Landlord alleged the Tenant was angry and hostile during a bedbug inspection and after being served with an N4 notice for non-payment of rent.

The ruling

The Landlord's request to reopen the application is denied. The Tenant did not substantially interfere with the reasonable enjoyment of the residential complex as defined in the Residential Tenancies Act.
