## Key points

- Toronto performers dispute their landlord’s indoor smoking claim.
- They say air-quality readings may be linked to flatulence.
- Their legal fundraiser had raised about $2,400.

## Summary

Toronto comedy duo SE Grummett and Sam Kruger say they face eviction after their landlord blamed indoor smoking for volatile organic compounds detected in her flat. The pair deny smoking indoors and say the readings may instead be linked to flatulence, making the dispute a question for Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board.

The landlord has a chronic lung condition, and her upstairs home shares an air duct with the tenants’ apartment. The duo say they ruled out appliances and home fragrances, and cite information they say came from the monitor’s manufacturer and a health specialist. They believe the eviction on “personal use” grounds is retaliation; their fundraiser had collected about $2,400 for legal costs by Sunday morning, roughly a month after it was posted.
