What happened

Landlord applied for termination and eviction due to illegal drug activity in the rental unit, and compensation for damages caused by fentanyl contamination. The tenant had already vacated, so the hearing focused on the damages claim.

The ruling

The Landlord and Tenant Board ordered the Tenant to pay $35,000 to the Landlord for damages caused by fentanyl contamination in the rental unit. The Board found that the Tenant, an occupant, or a guest willfully or negligently caused undue damage to the unit. The Landlord's claims for front door damage and a missing mailbox key were dismissed.
