What happened

Landlord applied for an order requiring former tenants to pay for damages to the rental unit that were caused wilfully or negligently. The rental unit was left in an uninhabitable condition with animal feces and urine throughout, requiring extensive repairs.

The ruling

The former tenants shall pay the landlord $35,186.00, which includes $35,000.00 for the reasonable costs the landlord incurred to repair the damage caused by the former tenants, and $186.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the former tenants do not pay the full amount by March 23, 2025, they will start owing interest at 5.00% annually on the outstanding balance.
