What happened
Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant placing a blow-up pool in the back yard, which the Landlord claimed violated the City of London's Swimming Pool Fence By-law.
The ruling
The application is dismissed. The Landlord failed to establish that the pool placed by the Tenant violated the applicable municipal by-law, so the placement of the pool did not constitute a substantial interference or illegal act.
