Z.W., J.P.

What happened

The Landlord filed an L10 application seeking compensation for damages caused by Former Tenants, specifically regarding an unreported toilet leak that flooded the unit below and damage to walls from adhesive hooks. The Tenants sought a review of a previous order because they were out of the country and did not receive notice of the original hearing. The Board granted the review and heard the application de novo.

The ruling

The LTB granted the review and replaced the previous order. The Former Tenants were found liable for $2,397.84 in damages plus the $186.00 application fee. The damages primarily stemmed from the tenants' failure to report a toilet leak that caused flooding in a lower unit and drywall damage in a bedroom. The total amount of $2,583.84 is payable to the Landlord.
