What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant committing an illegal act and seriously impairing the safety of another resident. The Landlord alleged that on November 1, 2022, the Tenant went to another resident's unit in an agitated state, demanded the resident open the door, and then forcefully pushed and kicked the door open, causing it to hit the pregnant resident. The Tenant was subsequently charged and released on an undertaking with a no-contact order. The Landlord also alleged the Tenant has been hostile and intimidating towards the other resident since the incident.

The ruling

The Landlord has proven the grounds for termination of the tenancy. However, given the Tenant's steps to address her behavioral issues, the Tenant is granted relief from eviction and the tenancy will continue if the Tenant meets the conditions set out in the order. The Tenant must not commit any illegal acts or seriously impair the safety of another person at the residential complex. If the Tenant fails to comply with the conditions, the Landlord may apply to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $186 for the cost of filing the application.
