What happened

Landlord applied to terminate tenancy and evict Tenants due to alleged willful or negligent damage to the premises and substantial interference with the Landlord's reasonable enjoyment or lawful right. The Landlord also sought compensation for damages.

The ruling

The Board ordered Tenants to pay $150 for screen repairs and $190 for the filing fee. Tenants must repair the hole in the basement wall by September 30, 2019, or pay for Landlord's reasonable repair costs. The remainder of the Landlord's application, including the request for tenancy termination, was dismissed.
