What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to willful or negligent damage to the premises. The damage was caused by Tenant and her guest bouncing in an elevator, triggering its safety mechanism. Landlord sought compensation for repair costs.

The ruling

The Board ordered the Tenants to pay $667.83 to the Landlord for elevator repair costs and $170.00 for the application filing fee. The Landlord's request for tenancy termination was not granted. Interest will be charged on any outstanding balance after March 31, 2015.
