Reasons

Daniel Norcross attended the hearing the landlord’s agent.
The tenants did not attend. The hearing proceeded in their absence.
The landlord has applied for compensation for damage to a cooktop.

Are the tenant liable for the damage to the premises?

A landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission. 1
The cooktop was new at the beginning of the tenancy on 28 April 2023, but the photographs show that it was badly battered by the end of the tenancy on 30 November 2023. The landlord did not want to relet the premises with the cooktop in that condition because it would have reduced the rent that he could command.
The damage is more than fair wear and tear, and the tenants have not disproved liability for the damage.
Mr Norcross produced invoices to prove the landlord’s cost to replace the cooktop was $1,032.48.
The Tribunal orders the tenants to compensate the landlord for the full cost of replacement. Filing fee
The tenants must reimburse the landlord for the filing fee because the landlord has wholly succeeded in its claim. Credit
Mr Norcross says the tenants have a credit of $5.20. That is to be deducted from the amount the tenants owe. 1 Residential Tenancies Act (RTA), ss 40(2)(a), 41, and 49B. Bond
The landlord is to be reimbursed out of the bond. The remainder of the bond is to be returned to the tenants.
