What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment of the residential complex and undue damage to the rental unit. The Landlord alleged the Tenant allowed his dogs to run off-leash, failed to clean up dog feces and cigarette butts, and caused damage to the rental unit beyond normal wear and tear.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant was granted. The Tenant was ordered to pay the Landlord $11,911.84, which includes compensation for use of the unit, repair costs for damage, and the application filing fee, minus the rent deposit and interest. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by the due date, they will owe interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
