"Constructive eviction" occurs when a condition for which the landlord is responsible makes the leased premises unfit for the purposes for which they were intended. A constructive eviction may result where the landlord shuts off electrical current to the tenant or where the landlord shuts off other utilities which are essential to the tenant's occupancy of the premises. Or, conditions amounting to a constructive eviction of the tenant may arise independently and remain uncorrected by the landlord who has the responsibility to remedy the situation, as, for example, in the case of an insect infestation of the leased premises.("The Arnold Encyclopedia of Real Estate", 1978, p. 276).

  • Chemistry
  • Agriculture - General
CONT

Canada's cold winters tend to minimize insect infestation but occasionally it occurs and fumigation is conducted under the Grain Commission's supervision. The most common treatment involves placing phostoxin tablets in the infested grain as it flows from conveyor belt to storage bin. The bin is sealed and the tablets emit a gas which kills the insects. After a few days the bin is reopened and Grain Commission inspectors inspect the grain to ensure a complete kill.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Agriculture - Généralités
CONT

Les hivers froids du Canada sont un obstacle à l'infestation du grain par les insectes. Quand les fumigations s'imposent, à l'occasion, elles s'effectuent sous la surveillance de la Commission des grains. La méthode la plus fréquente consiste à placer des comprimés de phostoxin dans le grain infesté au moment de son transfert du transporteur à courroie aux cellules d'entreposage. Les cellules sont ensuite fermées hermétiquement tandis que les comprimés émettent un gaz délétère pour les insectes. Après quelques jours, on rouvre les cellules pour que les inspecteurs de la Commission s'assurent de l'efficacité du traitement.
