What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to persistent late payment of rent and damage to the rental unit. The Landlords also sought reimbursement for unpaid utility costs and repair costs.

The ruling

The Landlord proved the grounds for termination of the tenancy due to the Tenant's persistent late payment of rent. The Tenant was unable to present a plan to pay rent on time going forward. The Landlord is entitled to $186 for the application filing fee, but the Landlord did not prove the Tenant owed for unpaid utilities. The tenancy is terminated effective September 19, 2024, and the Tenant must vacate by that date.
