What happened

The landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the tenant due to the tenant's conduct substantially interfering with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the landlord or another tenant. The landlord alleged the tenant used power tools in the laundry room, recorded other tenants, organized gatherings in violation of COVID-19 capacity limits, had a washing machine in the rental unit, threatened another tenant, left debris and used clothing in the laundry room, and denied entry for an inspection.

The ruling

The tenancy will continue subject to conditions on the tenant's behaviour. The tenant is ordered to: not post false statements about the landlord or its agents on social media or in the complex, remove the prohibited washing machine, not leave debris in the laundry room, not record other tenants, and not deny the landlord entry for inspections. If the tenant fails to comply with these conditions, the landlord may apply to terminate the tenancy without notice to the tenant.
