What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant for substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment and lawful rights of the Landlord and other tenants. The allegations included persistent noise, threats, and physical altercations. Furthermore, the Tenant repeatedly refused entry and failed to prepare the unit for scheduled pest control treatments, hindering the Landlord's ability to manage infestations in the complex. The Tenant did not attend the hearing to contest the evidence.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 9, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to vacate the unit and pay the Landlord $37.29, which represents the application filing fee minus the Tenant's rent deposit and interest. The adjudicator found that the Tenant's persistent refusal to comply with pest control measures and ongoing harassment of other tenants made the tenancy non-viable.
