What happened

The Landlord, a social housing provider, applied to evict the Tenant for an illegal act (N6) and seriously impairing safety (N7). The N7 notice was found to be invalid. The application proceeded based on the N6, which cited two main incidents. The first, related to alleged drug trafficking from the Tenant's unit, was dismissed due to lack of evidence. The second, a physical assault in the building's common area involving the Tenant and her guest's dog, was proven with video evidence. The Tenant was absent from the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated, and the Tenant must vacate the unit by June 28, 2025. This decision is based on the Tenant's involvement in a violent physical assault and a dog attack in the common area of the residential complex. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $424.53 as compensation for occupying the unit, a $186.00 application fee, and a daily compensation of $4.77 from May 1, 2025, until she vacates. The Board granted an expedited eviction due to grave safety concerns for other residents and denied any relief from eviction.
