What happened
Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant repeatedly removing the smoke/heat detector in the rental unit, refusing entry to the Landlord to repair or replace the detector, and being verbally abusive towards the Landlord's staff.
The ruling
The Landlord proved that the Tenant repeatedly tampered with the smoke/heat detector in the rental unit, which substantially interfered with the Landlord's and other tenants' rights and seriously impaired the safety of the residential complex. The Landlord attempted to accommodate the Tenant but the Tenant was uncooperative and abusive. The tenancy is terminated and the Tenant must vacate by September 24, 2024.
