What happened
The tenant sued the landlord for wrongfully depositing a post-dated cheque and for half the cost of floor repairs. The landlord countersued for damages allegedly caused by the tenant's dogs, loss of rent, and loss of property value.
The ruling
The court ruled in favor of the tenant, awarding $1,605.13 for the wrongfully deposited cheque and agreed-upon floor repair costs. The landlord's counterclaim for damages was dismissed due to lack of evidence.
