What happened

Landlords applied to evict the Tenant for substantial interference due to unpaid water bills and sought compensation for those bills. The Tenant vacated the rental unit before the hearing date and did not attend the hearing. The Board found the Tenant owed $400.00 for the unpaid utilities.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated as the Tenant had already vacated the unit on March 19, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlords $400.00 for unpaid utility costs. This amount is due by April 30, 2025. If the amount is not paid in full by the due date, simple interest at a rate of 5.00% per year will begin to accrue from May 1, 2025.
