What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and seek compensation for damages. The Landlord alleged that the Tenants or their guests substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the complex and caused wilful or negligent damage to fire safety equipment. The Tenants vacated the unit prior to the hearing, leaving the claim for repair costs as the primary matter for adjudication.

The ruling

The LTB ordered the Tenants to pay the Landlord a total of $987.48. This amount consists of $801.48 for the repair and replacement of fire safety equipment that was tampered with in the rental unit and the $186.00 application filing fee. The tenancy was declared terminated as of August 31, 2025, the date the Tenants vacated.
