The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and for compensation due to the Tenant allegedly damaging the thermostat. The Tenant had already vacated the rental unit before the hearing. The Landlord claimed the Tenant willfully damaged the thermostat by gluing the control buttons.

The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $428.90. This amount covers the $242.90 for replacing the damaged thermostat and the $186.00 application filing fee. The tenancy had already ended as the Tenant vacated the unit on January 2, 2025, prior to the hearing.
