What happened

Landlord applied for an order requiring Tenant to pay for reasonable costs to repair or replace undue damage to the rental unit caused wilfully or negligently by the Tenant, another occupant, or someone the Tenant permitted in the residential complex. The Landlord claimed water from the Tenant's dog's bowl damaged the flooring.

The ruling

Landlord's application is dismissed. Landlord has not proven on a balance of probabilities that the Tenant, another occupant, or someone the Tenant permitted wilfully or negligently caused undue damage to the rental unit by the Tenant's dog's water bowl.
