What happened
Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to alleged wilful or negligent damage to the rental unit's washing machine. The Landlord claimed $203.34 in repair costs.
The ruling
The Landlord's L2 application was dismissed as the evidence did not sufficiently connect the damage to the washing machine with the Tenant or her family. The Tenant's payment of $50.34 was found to be a reasonable effort to resolve the dispute.
