What happened

Landlord applied for an order requiring Tenant to pay the Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are the result of the Tenant's failure to pay utility costs they were required to pay under the terms of the tenancy agreement.

The ruling

The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $1,313.81 for unpaid water bills and $201.00 for the cost of filing the application, for a total of $1,514.81. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by February 19, 2023, they will owe interest at 5% annually on the outstanding balance.
