S.H.

What happened

Landlord filed multiple applications against Tenant for substantial interference, failure to pay utility costs, and damages to the rental unit. The Tenant had already vacated the unit by the hearing date, making the termination request moot. The Landlord's claims for substantial interference and damages were dismissed, but the claim for unpaid utilities was partially granted.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for termination was deemed moot as the Tenant had already vacated. The claim for substantial interference was dismissed due to lack of evidence. The Landlord was awarded $50 for unpaid utilities and $186 for the application filing fee. The damage claim was dismissed as the alleged damages were considered normal wear and tear.
