What happened

The Landlord applied for termination and eviction based on substantial interference and wilful damage. The Tenant failed to comply with fire safety orders regarding excessive clutter and changed the unit's door lock without authorization, compromising the building's master key system and insurance status.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated due to fire safety violations and unauthorized lock changes. The Tenant is ordered to vacate by May 26, 2025, and pay the Landlord $1,008.04, which includes compensation for use of the unit, lock replacement costs, and the filing fee.
