What happened

The Landlord applied to evict the Tenants, alleging they seriously impaired the safety of others by repeatedly moving a security camera in a common area. The Tenants did not attend the hearing. The Landlord claimed this was a significant security risk due to past vandalism in the building and police requests for footage.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy is dismissed. The Board found the Landlord failed to prove the Tenants' actions of moving a security camera constituted a serious impairment of safety. The claim was deemed speculative, as no evidence linked the action to any specific harm or unresolved incident.
