What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and seek compensation for damages after the Tenant was caught on video breaking the front lobby glass of the residential complex with a hammer. The Landlord sought repair costs and eviction. While the Adjudicator found the grounds for termination were proven, relief from eviction was granted under Section 83, allowing the tenancy to continue provided the Tenant pays for the repairs and filing fees by a specified date.

The ruling

The tenancy is allowed to continue on the condition that the Tenant pays the Landlord $1,468.55 (representing $1,282.55 for repairs and $186.00 for the filing fee) on or before July 31, 2025. If the Tenant fails to make this payment, the Landlord may apply for an ex parte eviction order within 30 days of the breach.
