What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to substantial interference, illegal acts, safety concerns, and wilful damage to the rental unit. The evidence showed the rental unit and yard were in a seriously unclean and unsafe condition, with excessive animal feces and urine buildup, and repeated sewer backups caused by the Tenant's children flushing baby wipes down the toilet. The Landlord had attempted to work with the Tenant over the years to remedy the situation, but the issues persisted.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated, and the Tenants must vacate the rental unit by September 30, 2023. If the unit is not vacated by that date, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement. The Tenants must pay the Landlord $186 for the application filing fee.
