What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy due to abandonment and to claim compensation for damages. The initial order was reviewed upon Landlord's request, as the Landlord did not have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the original proceedings.

The ruling

The original order was cancelled and replaced. The Tenant was found to have abandoned the rental unit. The Tenant is ordered to pay $186.00 to the Landlord for the cost of filing the application. The Landlord's claim for compensation for damages was denied.
