What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants for willfully or negligently causing damage to the rental unit and substantially interfering with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment and lawful rights. The interference included failing to provide proof of insurance as per the lease agreement. The Landlord also sought compensation for the cost of repairs.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective July 11, 2025, and the Tenants must vacate the unit by this date. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $3,576.00, which includes $3,390.00 for repair costs and $186.00 for the application fee. Relief from eviction was denied due to the Tenants' conduct and failure to rectify the issues.
