Security of tenancy
Tenants have security of tenancy. This means that a tenant can continue to occupy the rental unit until:
• the tenant decides to leave and gives the landlord proper notice that they intend to move out (see the Board’s brochure on How a Tenant Can End Their Tenancy for more information),
• the landlord and tenant agree to end the tenancy, or
• the landlord gives the tenant a notice to end the tenancy for a reason allowed by the Act, and o the tenant agrees to move, or o the tenant does not agree with the landlord’s notice, the landlord applies to the Board, and the Board issues an eviction order.
If the landlord gives a tenant notice to end the tenancy, the tenant does not have to move out. The landlord must apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board (the Board) for an order allowing the eviction of the tenant. The tenant has the right to go to a hearing and explain why they should not be evicted.

Notice to End a Tenancy
Landlord must give proper notice A landlord can end a tenancy only for the reasons allowed by the Act.
In most cases, the first step is for the landlord to give the tenant a notice in writing that they want the tenant to move out.
The proper forms a landlord must use for giving a notice to end the tenancy are available from the Board.
There are different notices for different reasons. Landlords must use the correct notice form and fill it out completely and accurately to ensure that the tenant receives all the information that the Act requires.
If the landlord does not give the tenant all the information required by the Act, the notice may be void. And, if the landlord files an application to evict the tenant based on an incomplete or incorrect notice, the application may be dismissed. Reasons for ending a tenancy
The Act allows a landlord to give a tenant notice to end the tenancy early if the tenant, the tenant’s guest or someone else who lives in the rental unit does something they should not do, or does not do something they should. This is sometimes called ending a tenancy “for cause”. Some examples of “for cause” reasons for ending a tenancy are:
• not paying the rent in full,
• causing damage to the rental property,
• disturbing other tenants or the landlord, and
• illegal activity in the rental unit or residential complex.
There are also other reasons for ending a tenancy that are not related to what the tenant has done, or not done. These are sometimes called “no fault” reasons for ending a tenancy....

I have every faith that Peetz will eventually spill the beans and we will find out exactly what happened.
I will now step back from this disagreement and wait for the inevitable to happen.
I also stand by my prediction that they will end up moving to another apartment together.
Cheers!
