What happened

The Landlord, a supportive housing provider, applied to evict the Tenant due to substantial interference from loud music and a barking dog. The application followed a second N5 Notice of Termination, after the Tenant had initially corrected their behaviour following a first N5. Multiple witnesses testified for the Landlord regarding the noise. The Tenant denied the allegations, attributing the noise to other neighbors.

The ruling

The LTB found the Tenant responsible for substantial interference through noise but granted relief from eviction. The tenancy continues on the condition that the Tenant refrains from causing excessive noise for a two-year period, from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2027. The Tenant is also ordered to pay the Landlord's $186.00 application fee. Failure to comply with the noise condition may result in the Landlord applying for eviction without notice.
