What happened

The Landlord applied for an order for compensation for damages after the Tenants moved out. The claims involved water damage to the unit below and wall damage caused by adhesive hooks. The Board found the Tenants liable for the wall damage but dismissed the claim for water damage, as it was caused by a professional plumber's faulty installation and the Tenants were not found negligent in failing to report it.

The ruling

The Former Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $461.00. This amount consists of $275.00 for wall repairs and $186.00 for the application filing fee. The claim for water damage was dismissed. Payment is due by July 19, 2025, after which interest will accrue.
