What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy for substantial interference and to recover unpaid utility costs for water and solid waste. While the eviction portion became moot because the Tenants were evicted by the Sheriff on a previous order shortly after this application was filed, the Board adjudicated the claim for utility arrears. Tenant 2 argued that the Landlord had agreed to waive utility costs in exchange for repairs and renovations, though no documentary evidence was provided. The Board found the Tenants liable for the unpaid utilities, pro-rating the final bill to the date of actual eviction.

The ruling

The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $2,746.96 by December 7, 2025. This amount includes $2,560.96 for unpaid water and waste utility bills and the $186.00 application filing fee. The tenancy was officially terminated on February 26, 2024, the date the Sheriff executed a previous eviction order.
