B.C. condo owner liable for tenant's kitty litter plumbing disaster

A British Columbia condo owner has been ordered to pay approximately $55,000 in fines, damages, and fees after his tenant repeatedly disposed of cat litter through building drains, causing damage to three neighboring units. The B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal ruling underscores landlord responsibility for tenant conduct and the financial consequences of inadequate property management. The case serves as a cautionary tale for property owners across Canada.
