What happened

The Landlord applied for an order for the Former Tenant to pay rent arrears and compensation for a period following her vacancy of the unit. The Former Tenant argued she had vacated on December 31, 2022, and should not be liable for arrears accumulated after that date. The Landlord contended that because the tenancy was joint and several with another tenant who remained in possession, the Former Tenant's liability continued until the tenancy was formally terminated.

The ruling

The Former Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $6,310.10, representing rent arrears and compensation up to February 28, 2023, plus the application filing fee. This order confirms the Former Tenant's joint and several liability for the debt, which was previously the subject of an order against her co-tenant.
