What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to Tenant or someone the Tenant permitted causing undue damage to the rental unit by allowing pipes to burst due to lack of heat.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective February 4, 2017. The Tenant must move out by that date and pay the Landlord $2,953.39, which represents the reasonable costs of repairing the damage and compensation for the use of the unit from January 13, 2017 to January 30, 2017 less the amount of the rent deposit and the interest owing on the deposit. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $25.48 per day for compensation for the use of the unit from January 31, 2017 to the date the Tenant moves out. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by February 4, 2017, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
