British Columbia Court of Appeal stops eviction of tenant with bad behaviour until appeal heard

The British Columbia Court of Appeal has granted a stay order in favour of a tenant who was about to be evicted from low-cost housing due to her alleged abusive and discriminatory behaviour against other tenants. In Campbell v. The Bloom Group, 2022 BCCA 364, Ellen Campbell rented a residential unit on Nelson Street in Vancouver which was operated by a not-for-profit housing services provider. The property was designated as affordable housing for low and moderate-income tenants. Campbell’s primary source of income was a monthly disability benefit payment of $1,400. In April 2021, Campbell received a one-month notice to end her tenancy contract. The landlord said it had received multiple complaints from other tenants reporting Campbell’s verbally abusive and discriminatory behaviour. Campbell applied to the Residential Tenancy Branch for a dispute resolution proceeding seeking to cancel the notice to end tenancy.
