What happened

The Landlords applied to evict the Tenant for substantial interference and for personal use of the rental unit. The application followed two N5 notices regarding issues of excessive clutter blocking exits, property damage, and failure to provide keys for changed locks. The Tenant did not attend the hearing, and the Landlords' evidence was accepted, leading to an order for eviction and compensation.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective June 8, 2025. The Tenant must vacate the rental unit by this date and pay the Landlords $16,072.70 for compensation and filing fees. Additionally, the Tenant is ordered to pay daily compensation of $105.21 from May 2, 2025, until they move out. Relief from eviction was denied due to the Tenant's absence and the unfairness of granting it under the circumstances.
