What happened

The Landlord applied for an order requiring the Tenants to pay for unpaid utility costs as per their tenancy agreement. The Tenants had vacated the rental unit on January 7, 2025, prior to the hearing. The Landlord amended the application at the hearing to include all outstanding utility bills up to the move-out date. The Tenants did not attend the hearing.

The ruling

The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $6,028.75. This amount includes $5,896.75 for unpaid water, gas, and hydro utility costs, and $186.00 for the application filing fee. The tenancy ended when the Tenants vacated the unit on January 7, 2025. Interest at a rate of 4.00% per year will apply to any unpaid balance after August 1, 2025.
