What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy due to substantial interference and to recover unpaid utility costs. The Tenants vacated the rental unit on or about February 14, 2025, before the hearing, making the eviction portion of the application moot. The hearing proceeded solely on the Landlord's claim for outstanding utility costs, which was amended to include all amounts due up to the date the Tenants vacated.

The ruling

The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $1,422.78. This amount includes $1,236.78 for unpaid utility costs (electricity, gas, and water) and $186.00 for the application filing fee. The Landlord's application for eviction was dismissed as moot because the Tenants had already abandoned the property.
