What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to substantial interference with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment and lawful rights, including failure to provide proof of contents insurance, refusing insurance inspections, using an illegal fire pit, changing the locks, and blocking access to the Landlord's farm. The Tenants were represented at the hearing.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for termination of the tenancy is denied if the Tenants comply with conditions, including providing proof of contents insurance, refraining from fire pit use and lock changes, and removing belongings from unauthorized areas. The Tenants must pay $3,000 for use of the unauthorized garage and $186 for the application fee.
