The court allowed the landlords' claim in part, granting judgment against the tenant for $4,434 plus costs of $1,200. The court found the tenant responsible for some undue damage but applied betterment reductions and dismissed claims that were not proven to be the tenant's responsibility.
Landlords sought $35,000 for alleged damage to their residential property rented to Tenant from June 2011 to June 2017, including lost rent while remedial work was underway. Tenant denied liability and causing any damage to the property.
Landlords argued that the tenant was responsible for undue damage under section 34 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. Landlords sought compensation for repairs, replacements, and lost rent.
Landlords claimed the tenant left a large volume of debris and material that measured in tons. Landlords provided photographic evidence of damage to walls, floors, and carpets.
Tenant argued that the property was 'spotlessly clean' when she moved out and denied causing any damage. Tenant claimed to have obtained verbal consent for building walls from the property manager's employee.
Tenant installed unauthorized walls in the garage and basement. Tenant kept entire litters of puppies in the rental unit, causing damage to carpets. Tenant installed a fence in the backyard attached to a tree with nails.
