What happened

The Landlords applied for compensation from Former Tenants for rent arrears, unpaid water utility costs, and out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the removal of a ceiling fan remote and curtains upon vacating. The Former Tenants vacated the unit on October 2, 2023, and the application was filed within the required one-year timeframe. The Former Tenants did not dispute the rent arrears or utility costs and admitted that the missing items were removed by their movers and subsequently disposed of.

The ruling

The Former Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlords a total of $4,483.79 by August 17, 2025. This amount includes $5,618.36 in rent arrears, $376.00 in utility costs, $127.34 for missing property, and the $186.00 filing fee, less the $1,800.00 rent deposit and $23.91 in interest on that deposit.
