What happened

Landlord applied to terminate tenancy and evict Tenant, alleging Tenant committed an illegal act and seriously impaired the safety of another person in the residential complex. The dispute arose from an altercation between the Tenant and another tenant, V.V., on August 1, 2016.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for eviction was dismissed. The Board found insufficient evidence to support claims of an illegal act or serious impairment of safety. The incident was determined to be a heated argument between former friends rather than a criminal act.
