What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant because the Tenant, another occupant of the rental unit or someone the Tenant permitted in the residential complex has substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the Landlord or another tenant. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenant remained in the unit after the termination date. The Landlord also applied for an order requiring the Tenant to pay the Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are the result of the Tenant's failure to pay utility costs they were required to pay under the terms of the tenancy agreement.
The ruling
The Landlord's application for an eviction order is withdrawn as there is already an eviction order for the Tenant in a separate file. The Landlord's application for unpaid utility costs is granted, and the Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $664.66 in outstanding water bills and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application, for a total of $850.66. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by March 8, 2025, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 5.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
