The Tribunal administratif du logement terminates the lease of a tenant who does not comply with a ban on smoking in the dwelling

The landlady asks for the termination of the lease, the eviction of the tenant and provisional execution despite the appeal. The lease between the parties is from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021 at a monthly rent of $1571. An annotation to the lease states: “The building is a 100% smoke-free environment from cigarettes and cannabis (apartment, balcony, terrace).” The initial lease signed in 2018 with the previous tenant also had a smoking ban in the dwelling, on the balcony and the indoor and outdoor common areas.
