What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant wilfully causing undue damage to the premises. The Landlord alleged that the Tenant's use of a dishwasher caused flooding and damage to another unit.
The ruling
The Landlord's application for termination of the tenancy is dismissed. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $728.85 for the cost of repairing the damage to the floors in the other unit, and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application, for a total of $914.85. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by September 18, 2022, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 3.00% annually on the balance owing.
