Nova Scotia court says damage to student rental house like movie 'Animal House'

Eight former tenants of a student rental house in Nova Scotia have been ordered to pay nearly $6,000 in damages after leaving the property in a state described as a "pigsty" by the court.
The landlord presented photographic evidence showing extensive damage to the house, including siding, window, and door damage, as well as "copious amounts of garbage and debris."
The tenants argued that the state of the property was not as bad as claimed, but the adjudicator disagreed and awarded the landlord $5,932.
