What happened

The Landlord applied for compensation regarding unpaid utility costs and damages caused by the Former Tenant. Specifically, the Landlord alleged pet urine damage, smoke smells, holes in walls, and unauthorized dark paint. The Tenant vacated the unit on July 2, 2024, and the application was heard regarding costs incurred for repairs and remediation.

The ruling

The Former Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $5,274.89. This includes $424.57 for unpaid utilities, $4,664.32 for damages (primarily remediation of pet urine odors and floor damage), and the $186.00 filing fee. Claims regarding smoke smells and paint were dismissed due to lack of evidence.
