What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to alleged damages caused to the residential complex. The Landlord claimed the Tenant's children damaged a railing and the Tenant installed an unauthorized doorbell camera that began smoking, requiring professional removal. The Landlord sought reimbursement for repair and removal costs. The Tenant did not attend the hearing.

The ruling

The tenancy is allowed to continue provided the Tenant pays the Landlord $642.14. This includes $456.14 for damages/expenses and the $186.00 filing fee. The payment is to be made in monthly installments of $25.00 starting December 1, 2025, with a final payment of $17.14 due by January 1, 2028. Failure to comply allows the Landlord to apply for an eviction order without notice.
