What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant or someone permitted by Tenant causing undue damage to the rental unit or residential complex, substantial interference with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest, and the Landlord requiring possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective May 9, 2021, and the Tenant must move out by that date. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $2,500 for the minimum costs of repairing the damage and/or replacing the damaged property, as well as $175 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by May 9, 2021, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
