What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant giving a notice to terminate the tenancy. Landlord also applied for an order requiring the Tenant to pay compensation for the damages caused by the Tenant or a person they permitted in the residential complex.

The ruling

The L3 application was dismissed as the tenancy had already terminated. The L2 application was dismissed as the Landlord failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the Tenant's cat damaged the window screens and failed to justify the cost of the repairs claimed.
