V.R.

What happened

Landlords sought compensation for unpaid rent, unpaid utilities, and damages caused by Tenant who was still in possession of the leased premises. The court determined it only had jurisdiction over the unpaid utilities claim.

The ruling

The court granted judgment for unpaid water utility bills in the sum of $632.62 against Tenant Victoria Robinson. The claim against Andrew Truax was dismissed. The remaining claims for unpaid rent and damages were dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, as these fall under the Landlord and Tenant Board's purview.
