What happened

The Landlords filed an application seeking compensation for extensive damages caused to the rental unit by the Former Tenants. The Tenants had already vacated the property on July 31, 2023. At the hearing, which the Tenants did not attend, the Landlords presented photographic evidence comparing the unit's condition before and after the tenancy, along with invoices and estimates for the necessary repairs and replacements. The Landlords' application was amended at the hearing to remove a minor child as a party.

The ruling

The Former Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlords $13,402.09. This amount covers $13,402.20 for the reasonable cost of repairing and replacing property they damaged, plus the $186.00 application filing fee, minus $186.11 for interest owed on the last month's rent deposit. The decision was made in the Tenants' absence, as they failed to attend the hearing.
