What happened

The Landlord applied for compensation after the Tenant vacated the unit, seeking rent arrears, costs for rubbish removal (substantial interference), and costs to repair undue damage. The unit was left with significant garbage, personal belongings, and various damages to drywall and flooring. The Tenant argued that some damages were pre-existing and that she was unable to move all items due to financial constraints and changed locks.

The ruling

The Former Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $6,781.52. This includes $65.02 in rent arrears, $4,678.00 for rubbish removal due to substantial interference, $1,852.50 for repairs to undue damage, and the $186.00 application filing fee. The payment is due by December 15, 2025.
