B.C. Judge Overturns $18K Payment Order for Tenants in Water Leak Dispute

  • A B.C. judge ruled that an order for tenants to pay over $18,000 in repairs for a water leak was "patently unreasonable" and sent the case back for re-arbitration.
  • The tenants were accused of neglect despite no clear evidence of the damage's cause, leading to disputes over responsibility.
  • The judge found flaws in the arbitrator’s understanding of tenancy-obligations and unit-access.
