What happened
Landlord applied for an order to collect rent arrears from Tenants due to non-payment of rent. The Tenants claimed they were not responsible for rent after August 31, 2023 as one Tenant had notified the Landlord of her intent to move out by that date.
The ruling
Tenant Sterrett ordered to pay $28,001.70 in rent arrears to Landlord. Landlord's application against Tenant Ortiz dismissed as it was filed over 1 year after Ortiz vacated. Landlord made reasonable efforts to mitigate losses after sublet fell through.
