What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to the need for major repairs and renovations to the rental unit. The Landlord claims vacant possession is required to complete the extensive work, which includes removing load-bearing walls, significant plumbing changes, replacing flooring, and asbestos remediation.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is granted. The tenancy is terminated effective January 31, 2025 to allow the Landlord to complete major renovations to the rental unit. The Tenants have the right to move back into the unit when the work is completed at the same rent. The Landlord must compensate the Tenants 3 months' rent, and the Tenants must pay compensation for use of the unit from May 1 to the move-out date.
