What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant for non-payment of rent, specifically centering on unpaid charges for air conditioning units and an alleged rent shortfall. The Tenant argued that the air conditioning was included in the original all-inclusive lease from 2005 and that she had permission from the previous landlord. The Landlord failed to prove an agreement for extra charges existed or provide specific evidence of the costs incurred by the AC units.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant is dismissed. The Board found that the Landlord failed to prove the Tenant was required to pay additional fees for air conditioning units that had been used since 2005 under an all-inclusive lease agreement. The Landlord's claims for arrears were unsupported by clear evidence or accurate cost data.
