Former tenants did not dispute the amounts but raised financial hardship, requesting an extension to pay; landlords agreed to an extension to August 31, 2025.
Dustin Hammar's consumer proposal, filed after the vacate date, shielded his share of the debt; the full order was issued solely against Karlie Hammar.

The application was filed within one year of the former tenants vacating, satisfying the statutory limitation period.
