What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to the Tenant willfully or negligently causing undue damage to the rental unit and a neighboring unit by improperly installing a washing machine without the Landlord's knowledge or consent, which caused a leak that damaged the unit below.

The ruling

The Tribunal terminated the tenancy and ordered the Tenant to pay the Landlord $628.06 for the cost of repairs and $175 for the application filing fee. The Tenant must vacate the rental unit by September 6, 2021, and if the unit is not vacated by that date, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office for enforcement.
