What happened

The Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial interference and wilful or negligent damage to the rental unit. By the time of the hearing, the Tenant had already vacated the unit, rendering the eviction request moot. The proceedings focused on the Landlords' claim for compensation regarding severe water damage and remediation costs caused by the Tenant's actions and neglect.

The ruling

The LTB ordered the Tenant to pay the Landlords a total of $28,097.00. This amount covers $27,911.00 for the cost of repairing severe damage caused by water and neglect, plus the $186.00 filing fee. The Tenant had already vacated the unit before the hearing. If payment is not made by August 23, 2025, interest will accrue at 4.0% annually.
