What happened

Landlord applied for an order requiring Tenant to pay for the reasonable costs to repair damages to the rental unit caused by the Tenant, another occupant, or someone the Tenant permitted in the residential complex. The damages included broken windows, drywall damage, flooring damage, and other issues.

The ruling

The Landlord proved the Tenant, another occupant, or someone the Tenant permitted caused undue damage to the rental unit. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $17,114.19 for the reasonable costs of repairs and $186.00 for the application filing fee, for a total of $17,300.19. If the Tenant does not pay by the due date, they will owe interest at 5% annually on the outstanding balance.
