What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant or a person permitted in the residential complex by the Tenant substantially interfering with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant, wilfully or negligently causing damage to the premises, and seriously impairing the safety of any person in the residential complex. The Landlord alleged that the Tenant or a person permitted in the residential complex by the Tenant caused two fires at the rental unit/complex, resulting in substantial damage.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is granted. The tenancy is terminated immediately, and the Tenant must vacate the rental unit by March 13, 2025. If the Tenant does not vacate by that date, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) for enforcement. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $186 for the application filing fee.
