What happened

Landlord applied for termination and eviction due to Tenant's substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment and wilful or negligent damage to the premises. The main issue was the Tenant's hoarding of paper-based products near the furnace area, posing a potential fire hazard.

The ruling

The Board ordered the Tenant to de-clutter the unit by removing all stacks of paper and place the unit in a reasonable state of cleanliness by August 8th, 2022. If the Tenant fails to comply, the Landlord may apply for termination and eviction within 30 days of the breach.
