What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to substantial interference and wilful/negligent damage caused by the Tenants' son. Specifically, the son was caught on camera throwing paint cans from the 24th floor of a condo building under construction and spilling drywall compound in an elevator. The Landlord was also charged legal fees by the Condominium Corporation due to these incidents, which the Tenants refused to pay, further threatening the Landlord with a lawsuit for harassment.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 14, 2025. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $2,731.82, which includes repair costs for damages and legal out-of-pocket expenses, adjusted for the rent deposit and interest. The Tenants are also liable for $85.48 per day in compensation for occupancy from October 24, 2025, until they vacate.
