What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant's behavior substantially interfering with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful rights of the Landlord or other tenants. The Landlord served the Tenant with two N5 notices alleging noise, drug use, and aggressive behavior by the Tenant and his guests.

The ruling

The Tenant's behavior substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful rights of the Landlord or other tenants. The tenancy is terminated effective January 21, 2023, and the Tenant must pay the Landlord $4,612.58, which includes compensation for use of the unit and the cost of repairing damage.
