What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant for substantial interference, and also sought compensation for unpaid utilities. The Tenant did not attend the hearing. The Tenant had already vacated the rental unit on January 29, 2025. The Board found the Landlord's claim for unpaid utilities was supported by evidence and ordered the Tenant to pay for them.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated as of January 29, 2025, the date the Tenant vacated. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $808.63, which comprises $622.63 for unpaid utility costs and the $186.00 application fee. Interest at 5.00% will be charged on any outstanding balance starting from June 17, 2025.
