What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant for substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment, specifically regarding unpaid utility costs. Additionally, the Landlord sought compensation for out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the Tenant's failure to pay for water, hydro, and gas as required by the tenancy agreement. The Tenant was already evicted via a separate order prior to this hearing.

The ruling

The LTB ordered the Tenant to pay the Landlord $2,496.06, consisting of $2,310.06 for unpaid utility expenses (water, gas, hydro) and the $186.00 application filing fee. The eviction request was dismissed as moot because the Tenant had already been evicted under a previous order.
