A judge in Nova Scotia has ruled that student tenants must cover costs to remediate “shocking” damage to a rental property. He likened what he saw to a real-life scene from the movie “Animal House.”

The court said, “The landlord took the position the house was virtually destroyed,” according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
