What happened
The landlord applied for an order requiring the former tenants to pay rent arrears and compensation for damages to the rental unit. The former tenants vacated the unit on February 28, 2022 without providing proper notice. The landlord claims the former tenants caused damage to the unit due to their dogs urinating on the floor and walls.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective March 31, 2022. The former tenants are ordered to pay the landlord $6,315.43, which includes rent arrears, compensation for damages, and the application filing fee. If the former tenants do not pay the full amount by August 31, 2023, they will owe interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
