What happened

The Landlord, a public housing corporation, sought to evict the Tenant for substantial interference and wilful damage. The allegations included the Tenant's pets using the balcony as a toilet, causing damage to the unit below, adding an unauthorized lock, and denying access for essential repairs. The Tenant was absent from the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective May 15, 2025, and the Tenant must vacate. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $425.00 in compensation and $186.00 for the application fee. Relief from eviction was denied due to the Tenant's failure to remedy her disruptive behaviour, which included causing property damage with her pets and refusing the Landlord entry for essential repairs.
