What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to the Tenant or an occupant of the rental unit wilfully or negligently causing undue damage to the premises. The Landlords also applied for an order requiring the Tenant to compensate them for the damage.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective January 2, 2022. The Tenant must pay the Landlords $7,526.00 for the cost of repairing the damage, $32.88 per day for compensation for the use of the unit from January 3, 2022 until the Tenant moves out, and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount owing by January 2, 2022, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 2.00% annually on the outstanding balance. If the unit is not vacated by January 2, 2022, the Landlords may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) to enforce the eviction.
