File Number: EAL-85524-19

Order Date
Sep 4, 2020
The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $1,133.50, which includes the application filing cost, the cost to repair the washing machine, and the residual value of the damaged carpets. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by September 15, 2020, they will start accruing interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to non-payment of rent, wilful or negligent damage, substantial interference, illegal acts, and impaired safety.
Landlord alleged that the Tenant's former girlfriend had unplugged the washing machine, causing damage. Landlord also alleged that the Tenant and his guests had caused damage to the carpets through pet urine/feces and smoking.
Tenant's representative argued that the Tenant should be allowed to continue living in the rental unit with the soiled carpets until the tenancy ends, as the carpets' useful life would expire and the Landlord would need to replace them anyway.
Tenant owned cats, two large dogs, and his former girlfriend also had a large dog. Tenant agreed that he has mobility challenges and often cannot walk his dogs, relying on neighbors and friends for assistance.
