What happened

The Landlord applied for compensation for undue damage caused by the Former Tenant. The Tenant had already vacated the unit and did not attend the hearing. The Landlord claimed over $3,000 for various repairs but was only awarded $1,923.12 for items where the damage was sufficiently proven to be beyond normal wear and tear.

The ruling

The Former Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $2,124.12. This amount comprises $1,923.12 for the repair of undue damage to the door lock and handrail, and $201.00 for the application filing fee. The Landlord's other damage claims were dismissed due to a lack of evidence. The payment is due by June 30, 2025, after which interest will be applied.
