What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant. The Landlord served the Tenant with two N5 notices of termination, the first related to theft and harassment allegations, and the second related to an altercation between the Tenant's father and a neighbor on April 19, 2023.

The ruling

The Landlord has proven the grounds for termination of the tenancy due to the Tenant or her guests substantially interfering with the reasonable enjoyment of the residential complex by the Landlord and other tenants. Although a conditional order was considered, it is unlikely to be successful given the Tenant's inability to control her father's behavior. The tenancy is terminated, but the eviction is postponed until August 31, 2024 to allow the Tenant to find alternative accommodation.
