Tenant

A.A.D., A.M.

What happened

The Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment. Additionally, the Landlords sought compensation for unpaid utility costs and damages to a refrigerator. The eviction portion of the application was dismissed as moot because the tenancy had already been terminated by a previous Board order. The primary focus of the hearing shifted to the financial claims regarding utility arrears and the cost of repairing a damaged appliance.

The ruling

The application for eviction was dismissed as moot. However, the Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlords a total of $2,431.16, consisting of $1,945.16 for unpaid utility bills, $300.00 for refrigerator repairs, and $186.00 for the application filing fee. This amount must be paid by September 7, 2025, or interest will begin to accrue.
