N7 - Illegal Act

TEL-02720-19 (Re), 2019 CanLII 89718 (ON LTB)

Application for Illegal Act

1. The Landlord served the Tenant with a notice of termination pursuant to section 61 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the 'Act') claiming an illegal act by the Tenant because of a stabbing. 2. The Landlord’s evidence is a news article from the company which states a male was arrested due to a stabbing outside of a home on the same street as the Tenant’s rental unit. The Landlord’s representative states the rental unit had police tape around it; however, provided no further evidence to substantiate the Landlord’s claim. 3. Given the vague description of the stabbing with no evidence to say that any of the parties involved had anything to do with the Tenant or that it actually was on the residential complex, I find the Landlord’s evidence to be insufficient. 4. As a result, the Landlord’s application with respect to illegal act is dismissed.
