What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment of the complex. Allegations included vandalism while intoxicated, death threats against a plumber, pulling fire alarms multiple times, harassment of other tenants for money, drug use in common stairways, and peeping into a female tenant's window. The Tenant failed to attend the hearing or void the N5 notice by correcting the behavior.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 12, 2025, due to the Tenant's extreme disruptive behavior, including death threats and multiple fire alarm activations. The Tenant is ordered to move out by this date and pay the Landlord $186.00 for the application filing fee.
