What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to undue damage to the rental unit, substantial interference with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment, and impairment of safety. The Tenants used a power tool to cut furniture and caused a fire in the rental unit, resulting in $64,109.88 in damages.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective November 30, 2021, the date the Tenants vacated the rental unit. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $5,000.00, which represents the insurance deductible for the reasonable costs of repairing the damage, and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application.
