What happened

Landlord applied for an order requiring former tenants to pay rent arrears, outstanding utility expenses, and costs to repair damage to the rental unit. The former tenants vacated the unit on March 18, 2022 without paying all rent and utility costs owed.

The ruling

The former tenants are ordered to pay the landlord a total of $24,633.74, which includes $2,100 in rent arrears, $17,149.30 in repair costs, $5,183.44 in unpaid utility costs, and $201 in application filing fees. If the former tenants do not pay the full amount by July 3, 2023, they will owe interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
