What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to allegations that the Tenants or someone visiting or living with them seriously impaired the safety of another person and willfully caused undue damage to the rental unit or residential complex.

The ruling

Landlord's claim for serious impairment of safety dismissed as evidence was hearsay. Tenant HA found responsible for damage to bedroom door, Tenant KS responsible for one hole in wall. Landlord awarded $435 for damages and $186 for application fee. Conditional order issued - tenancy continues if Tenants comply with conditions.
