What happened

The Landlord applied for an order against Former Tenants to recover out-of-pocket costs for property damage allegedly caused wilfully or negligently. During the videoconference hearing, the Landlord requested to withdraw the application after a limitation period issue was raised. The Former Tenants' legal representative requested $500.00 in costs for hearing preparation, arguing the application was clearly out of time.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for damages against the Former Tenants is withdrawn and the file is closed. No order for costs was made against the Landlord despite the Former Tenants' request.
