What happened

Landlord applied for an order requiring Tenant to pay compensation for damages caused by the Tenant or a person the Tenant permitted in the residential complex. The Landlord sought $850.00 in damages for repainting, light fixture replacement, patio screen door replacement, towel rack replacement, and wall damage repair.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for damages was dismissed. The Board found that the alleged damages were either a result of normal wear and tear or lacked sufficient evidence to prove they were caused by the Tenant's willful or negligent conduct.
