What happened

Landlords applied for an order requiring Tenants to pay for unpaid utility costs and damages to a wall oven and snowblower. The parties agreed on the unpaid utilities amount, but the Landlords failed to prove that the Tenants wilfully or negligently caused damage to the wall oven and snowblower.

The ruling

The Tenants are ordered to pay $2,347.76 for unpaid utilities by October 19, 2022. The Landlords' claim for $4,000 in damages for the wall oven and snowblower is dismissed due to lack of evidence of wilful or negligent damage by the Tenants.
