Jaime Lee Metcalfe alleged her neighbours' cats entered her unit and caused damage to her property by peeing and pooping.
B.C.’s Civil Resolution Tribunal has dismissed a complaint from a woman who alleged her neighbours’ cats damaged property by entering her unit and urinating and defecating there.
In an Oct. 30 decision, tribunal member Nav Shukla said complainant Jaime Lee Metcalfe and respondents Jamie Major and Corbin Major live in the same house. “The applicant says that this has caused issues for their entire family including vomiting, headaches, and severe dizziness,” Shukla said.The Majors said there was no way their cats could have entered Metcalfe’s unit and caused any alleged damage. They further said any flies were likely due to garbage left around by Metcalfe.
Further, the landlord said, flies Metcalfe complained about were likely from garbage she leaves by the front door as she always leaves the front door open. “I find the applicant has failed to prove that the respondents’ cats have caused any damage to their property,” Shukla said. “I also find it unproven that the respondents’ cats have caused the applicant to suffer from any alleged headaches, vomiting, or dizziness,” Shukla said. “As a whole, I find the applicant’s claims, including their claimed damages, unproven.”
