What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial interference, damage to property, and persistent late payment of rent. The Tenant had erected a swimming pool in the backyard without permission, causing damage to the lawn and resulting in municipal fines for the Landlord. The Tenant also had issues with garbage and stagnant water on the property, leading to additional municipal fines for the Landlord.

The ruling

The tenancy will continue if the Tenant meets the conditions of the order, which include paying the Landlord $469.34, complying with city bylaws regarding garbage, and not erecting another swimming pool. If the Tenant fails to comply, the Landlord may apply to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant.
