What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to allegations that the Tenant started a fire at the residential complex, causing an estimated $12,000 to $15,000 in damage. The Tenant was subsequently charged with Arson.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The Tribunal was not satisfied, on a balance of probabilities, that the Tenant wilfully started a fire and seriously impaired the safety of another person.
