What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to undue damage to the rental unit. The Landlord also claimed compensation for the damage and for each day the Tenants remained in the unit after the termination date.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The Landlord failed to prove that the Tenants wilfully or negligently caused damage to the bathtub drain. The evidence suggests the damage was more likely caused by the repair person's actions and ordinary wear and tear.
