What happened

The Landlord applied for compensation for undue damage caused to the rental unit by the Tenant, their pets, or occupants after the Tenant vacated the unit. The damages included significant issues with carpeting, walls, kitchen cabinets, and window screens, primarily attributed to pet waste and negligence.

The ruling

The Former Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $13,281.26. This amount includes $14,000.00 for reasonable repair costs and the $186.00 filing fee, minus the $850.00 rent deposit and $54.74 in interest already held by the Landlord. The total must be paid by July 21, 2025, or interest will accrue.
