What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant, and for wilful or negligent damage to the premises. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenant remained in the unit after the termination date, and for the Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket costs to repair or replace undue damage to the property.

The ruling

The Landlord is entitled to $4,586.55 for the reasonable costs of repairing and/or replacing the damaged property, as well as $186.00 for the cost of filing the application, for a total of $4,772.55 owed by the Tenant. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by October 22, 2022, the Tenant will start to owe simple interest at 4.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
