What happened

The Landlord filed an L10 application against the Former Tenant seeking rent arrears, daily compensation, and costs for repairs of undue damage. The parties had previously agreed to end the tenancy via an N11 agreement, and the Tenant vacated in February 2025. The Landlord claimed significant damages including missing locks, a removed bedroom door, drywall damage, and stained carpets.

The ruling

The Former Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $3,831.80. This includes $2,770.98 for rent and compensation, $940.00 for repair costs (locks, bedroom door, and drywall), and the $186.00 filing fee, minus $65.18 in interest on the rent deposit. The Landlord's claims for cleaning, painting, and carpet replacement were dismissed.
