What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to wilful or negligent damage to the rental unit and residential complex, specifically related to malfunctioning and improperly installed air conditioning units.

The ruling

The Board ordered the Tenants to pay the Landlord $1,161.80 for the costs of repairing the damage caused by the leaking A/C unit, in installments over 8 months. The Board did not terminate the tenancy, but ordered the Tenants to have the leaking unit fixed or replaced before turning it on for the season.
