What happened

The Landlord filed an application seeking compensation for costs incurred to repair damages caused by a toilet overflow in the Tenants' unit. The overflow resulted in water damage to the unit directly below. The Landlord alleged the damage was due to the Tenants' negligence. The Tenants did not attend the hearing.

The ruling

The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $4,129.14. This amount covers $3,943.14 for the reasonable costs of repairing water damage caused by a negligent toilet overflow and $186.00 for the application filing fee. The decision was made based on the Landlord's uncontested evidence as the Tenants failed to attend the hearing.
