What happened

Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant's negligent or willful damage to the rental unit and residential complex, including smoking and water damage.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective March 4, 2021, the date the Tenant was evicted. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlords $10,603.09 for the reasonable costs of repairing the smoke and water damage, and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by August 23, 2021, they will start to owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
