Reasons

Matthew Cater attended the hearing for the landlord.

The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amounts the tenant owes for these.

Is the tenant responsible for the damage to the blinds?

The landlord had to replace three sets of blinds after the tenant damaged them by cleaning them in the washing machine.
The tenant caused the damage carelessly, so the tenant is liable to the landlord for the cost of replacing them. 3
I must take betterment and depreciation into account.

The blinds were likely at least four years’ old and had a useful further life of about four years prior to the damage. Therefore, I discount the landlord’s cost to replace the blinds by 50 percent. Filing fee
