13. On July 6, 2017, the Tenant’s dog bit a neighbour. The bite did not occur on the residential premises, and the neighbour does not live on the premises.

14. Pursuant to section 64 of the RTA, the tenancy can be terminated if the Tenant’s dog substantially interferes with the reasonable enjoyment of the residential complex by the Landlord or another tenant. The dog bite did not occur in the complex, and did not affect the Landlord or another tenant. It had nothing to do with the tenancy, and is not grounds for termination under section 64.
