MHHS · Residential Tenancies Act
Part 3 — Remedies of Landlords and Tenants
32 Recovery of damages
resulting from the tenant's breach of the tenant's covenant to
vacate the residential premises at the expiration or termination of
the tenancy, a landlord may recover
(a) general damages the landlord has suffered resulting from the
tenant's failure to vacate the premises, and
(b) special damages the landlord has suffered resulting from the
landlord's liability to a new tenant because of the landlord's
failure to deliver possession of the premises to the new
tenant, if the tenant could reasonably have foreseen that
those damages would be a consequence of the tenant's
failure to vacate the premises.
