What happened

The Landlords applied for rent arrears and compensation for damages after the Tenants vacated the unit. A key issue involved whether certain claims were barred by res judicata due to a previous LTB order and a Divisional Court appeal which had redirected a rental payment to cover legal costs. The damages claimed included a granite fireplace, bathroom glass, window screens, and air vents.

The ruling

The Former Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlords a total of $11,748.50 by September 8, 2025. This amount includes $4,500.00 for rent arrears from October 2023, $7,062.50 in compensation for damages to the fireplace, bathroom, windows, and air vents, and the $186.00 application filing fee. Claims for damages already addressed in a prior order were dismissed.
