What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant tampering with and disconnecting the smoke detector in the rental unit, which seriously impaired the safety of others in the residential complex.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective February 13, 2023. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $741.04 in compensation for use and occupation of the rental unit from July 26, 2022 to February 6, 2023, as well as $3.78 per day starting February 7, 2023 until the Tenant vacates the unit. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing by February 13, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 5.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
