What happened

Landlord applied for an order requiring Tenant to pay reasonable out-of-pocket expenses resulting from Tenant's failure to pay utility costs as required by the tenancy agreement. The application was amended to include a final unpaid water bill, bringing the total claim to $4,008.37.

The ruling

The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $4,194.37, which includes $4,008.37 for unpaid water bills and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by February 24, 2023, interest will start to accrue at 5.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
