What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to serious impairment of safety and willful undue damage to the premises. Landlords also sought compensation for repair costs. Tenants had moved out by the second hearing date, making the termination request moot. The case focused on determining the extent of undue damage caused by Tenants and the associated repair costs.

The ruling

The Tenants were ordered to pay the Landlords $2,610.98, which includes $2,424.98 for reasonable costs of repairing damage or replacing damaged property, and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. The termination and eviction requests were moot as Tenants had already moved out.
