What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to wilful or negligent damage to the rental unit or residential complex. The Landlords also applied for an order requiring the Tenants to pay the Landlords' reasonable out-of-pocket costs to repair or replace the undue damage.

The ruling

The Landlords proved on a balance of probabilities that the Tenants wilfully or negligently caused damage to the rental unit and residential complex. The Tenants failed to void the N5 notices or repair the damage. The Tenants shall pay the Landlords $4,695.00 by November 24, 2024 to cover the costs of the damages. If the Tenants fail to pay, the Landlords may apply to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants.
