What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant, claiming the Tenant willfully or negligently caused undue damage to the premises by causing a flood through overloading a washing machine. Landlord also sought compensation for the damage and for each day the Tenant remained in the unit after the termination date.
The ruling
The Landlord's application for termination of tenancy, eviction, and compensation for damages was dismissed due to insufficient evidence to prove that the Tenant willfully or negligently caused the flood damage in the rental unit.
