Decision
The LTB terminated the tenancy effective June 3, 2026, due to the Tenant's admission of violent assault and his stated intent to continue engaging in vigilante acts. The request for relief from eviction was denied due to the safety risk to other residents.
Dispute
Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant for illegal acts and serious impairment of safety following a violent assault on the premises. Tenant requested an adjournment based on cognitive impairment, which was denied.
Determinations
- The Landlord's adjournment request was denied because the Tenant's claim of missing evidence was unsubstantiated and did not relate to his disability.
- The Tenant committed an illegal act and seriously impaired the safety of others in the residential complex.
- The tenancy is terminated due to the severity of the violence and the Tenant's stated intent to continue such behaviour.
- The Human Rights Code is not engaged; even if it were, the Landlord met the duty to accommodate.
