What happened
The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy of the Tenant and evict an Unauthorized Occupant because the Tenant transferred occupancy without the Landlord's consent. The Tenant had served an N9 notice to end the tenancy effective August 31, 2023, but the Unauthorized Occupant remained in the unit. The Unauthorized Occupant claimed an oral agreement for a new tenancy existed, which the Landlord denied. Additionally, the Unauthorized Occupant filed a T2 application claiming harassment and interference, which was ultimately dismissed as they were not legally a tenant.
The ruling
The Landlord's application was successful. The tenancy between the Landlord and Tenant was terminated. The Unauthorized Occupant was ordered to vacate the unit by August 10, 2025, and pay $28,783.06 in compensation and filing fees. The occupant's T2 application for harassment was dismissed as they were not a legal tenant.
