What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to their failure to pay water utility bills, which the Landlord claimed substantially interfered with their lawful rights.

The ruling

The Tribunal ordered that the tenancy be terminated effective August 31, 2017, and that the Tenants must move out by that date. The Tenants were ordered to pay the Landlord $1,212.24, representing compensation for use of the unit from June 1, 2017 to August 11, 2017, less the rent deposit and interest owed on the deposit. The Tenants were also ordered to pay the Landlord $29.34 per day for compensation for use of the unit from August 12, 2017 until they move out, as well as $175 for the cost of filing the application. However, the Tribunal allowed the Tenants to void the order by paying the full amount of the water bill ($1,402.83) to the Landlord by August 31, 2017.
