What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to the Tenants substantially interfering with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit and complex. The Landlord served a valid N5 notice alleging the Tenants have kept the rental unit in an extremely high state of clutter, and despite the Landlord cleaning up the property multiple times, the Tenants continue to accumulate more junk and refuse.
The ruling
The Landlord's application is granted. The tenancy is terminated effective February 29, 2024. The Tenants must vacate the rental unit by this date. If they do not, the Landlord may file the order with the Sheriff to enforce the eviction. The Tenants owe the Landlord $8,123.16 less any payments already made, which includes rent arrears, city cleanup costs, and daily compensation for use of the unit. If the full amount is not paid by February 29, 2024, the Tenants will owe interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
