What happened

Landlord applied for eviction due to Tenant causing undue damage and substantially interfering with reasonable enjoyment. Two N5 notices were served. The first for removing smoke detector batteries, the second for alleged sewer backup and denying Landlord access for repairs.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for eviction is denied on conditions that the Tenant allows access when proper notice is given and does not remove smoke detector batteries. The Tenant must pay $201.00 for the application filing cost. If the Tenant breaches these conditions, the Landlord may apply for eviction within 30 days of the breach.
