What happened

Landlord filed a claim for $2,679.44 for arrears of rent and damages to the residential unit after the tenant vacated without notice in October 2011. The court assessed the evidence provided by the landlord and awarded a reduced amount of $1,205.45.

The ruling

The court awarded the landlord $1,205.45, which includes $810.91 for rent arrears and $500 for estimated damages, minus $105.46 in payments made by the tenant. The court limited interest to statutory rates and costs to claimed disbursements due to the excessive nature of the original claim and the tenant's consumer proposal.
