What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant substantially interfering with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant, and the Tenant, another occupant of the rental unit or someone the Tenant permitted in the residential complex has wilfully or negligently caused damage to the premises.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is granted. The tenancy is terminated effective July 7, 2024. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $1,980.23, which includes the cost of repairs for the fire damage and the application filing fee, minus the rent deposit and interest. If the Tenant does not pay the amount owing by July 7, 2024, they will start to owe interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
