What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to undue damage to the premises, illegal acts, and persistent late payment of rent. The Tenants had vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing.

The ruling

The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $35,000, which represents the reasonable costs to repair the damage caused by the Tenants to the rental unit. If the Tenants do not pay the full amount by March 9, 2021, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
