What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to willful or negligent damage to the premises. Landlords also sought compensation for the damage and for each day Tenants remained after the termination date. Tenants had vacated the unit by October 31, 2021, before the hearing date.

The ruling

The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlords $186.00 for the application fee. The eviction application was deemed moot as Tenants had already vacated. While some damage was proven, the Landlords failed to provide sufficient evidence of repair costs, resulting in no additional compensation being awarded.
