What happened

The Landlord, a housing corporation, applied to evict the Tenant for committing an illegal act. The Tenant allegedly drew graffiti on another tenant's door and later assaulted that same tenant by kicking them in the groin in the presence of police officers. The Tenant did not attend the hearing. The Landlord provided video evidence of the assault.

The ruling

The LTB found that the Tenant committed a serious illegal act (assault) warranting eviction. However, at the Landlord's request, the Board granted the Tenant relief from eviction. The tenancy is allowed to continue under the condition that the Tenant does not commit any illegal acts within the residential complex. If this condition is breached, the Landlord can apply for an expedited eviction order without a further hearing.
