What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to significant rent arrears and substantial water damage caused by a clogged sink. The Landlord provided evidence that the Tenant or an occupant left a bathroom sink tap running while it was clogged with hair, leading to over $8,000 in water damage to the property. The Tenant claimed the leak was caused by a broken pipe but could not recall the details of the event and provided no evidence to support her claim. The Landlord also sought recovery of rent arrears exceeding $8,500.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective October 31, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $17,268.99, which includes $8,508.68 in rent arrears and legal costs, plus $8,760.31 for water damage repairs. The Tenant must vacate by October 31, 2025, or face eviction by the Sheriff.
