What happened

The landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the tenant because the tenant, another occupant of the rental unit or someone the tenant permitted in the residential complex has substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment or lawful right, privilege or interest of the landlord or another tenant. The landlord also applied for an order requiring the tenant to pay the landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that are the result of the tenant's failure to pay utility costs they were required to pay under the terms of the tenancy agreement.

The ruling

The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord $1,174.18, which represents the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses the Landlord has incurred as a result of the unpaid utility costs. If the Tenant does not pay the Landlord the full amount owing on or before May 29, 2023, the Tenant will start to owe interest at 6.00% annually on the balance outstanding.
