Decision
The Landlord has proven on a balance of probabilities the grounds for termination of the tenancy and the claim for compensation in the application. The tenancy is terminated November 30, 2024. However, the eviction is postponed until November 30, 2024 due to the length of the tenancy and the Tenant's two children.
Reason for Eviction Relief
