The tenant leased a rental unit but later moved to a new home, allowing two friends to move into the unit without the landlord's consent.
The tenant also constructed a basement bedroom without a building permit to use during occasional overnight stays.
The landlord applied to evict the unauthorized occupants and terminate the tenancy.
The Court of Appeal held that the tenant had transferred occupancy to his friends and that the illegal construction of the bedroom was a serious illegal act justifying termination of the tenancy.
