What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to the Tenant, another occupant, or someone the Tenant permitted in the residential complex wilfully or negligently causing undue damage to the rental unit or residential complex. The specific allegations include a sink overflow causing flooding, the Tenant denying the Landlord access to assess and repair the damages, and a subsequent leak in the bathroom area.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 14, 2023. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $15,850.71, which includes the reasonable costs to repair the damages, the application filing fee, and daily compensation for use and occupation of the unit. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by August 14, 2023, the Tenant will owe interest starting August 15, 2023.
