The court also denied damages for use of propane. The agreement contemplated that the
tenants would fill the propane tank at the end of the tenancy. However, Ms. Cook sought an
award of damages equivalent to the entire tank full of propane without having presented any
evidence as to how much her tenants actually may have used. The court noted that the tenancy
was exceptionally short and in the summer (July and August), when fuel usage would be
minimal. In these circumstances, it concluded that Ms. Cook had failed to adequately support
her claim. This was reasonable.
