What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and claim costs after a guest of the Tenant punched and broke the glass lobby window. The Tenant acknowledged responsibility and promised to pay for the damage but failed to do so. The Tenant did not attend the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is continued on the condition that the Tenant pays the Landlord $2,220.00 by May 31, 2025. This amount covers the cost of replacing a damaged lobby window and the application filing fee. If the Tenant fails to meet this condition, the Landlord can apply for an eviction order without a further hearing.
