What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant allegedly growing more than the legal limit of 4 marijuana plants in the rental unit or residential complex, which the Landlord claimed was an illegal act under the Residential Tenancies Act.

The ruling

The Landlord's application was dismissed. The Tenant was found to be growing only one marijuana plant, which is not illegal.
