What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant causing undue damage to the rental unit, substantially interfering with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest, and seriously impairing the safety of any person. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenant remained in the unit after the termination date.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective July 18, 2020, the date the Tenant vacated the rental unit. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $919.03, which includes the reasonable costs of repairing the damage ($850) and compensation for the use of the unit from July 16, 2020 to July 18, 2020 ($69.03). If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by June 30, 2021, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
