What happened

Landlord applied for an order requiring former tenants to pay for reasonable costs to repair or replace undue damage to the property, which was caused willfully or negligently by the former tenants or someone they permitted in the residential complex.

The ruling

Landlord's application for compensation for undue damage is dismissed. The Landlord did not provide sufficient evidence to prove the former tenants willfully or negligently caused undue damage beyond normal wear and tear. The former tenants provided comprehensive photo and video evidence showing the unit was left in good condition.
