What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord or the Landlord's superintendent or agent substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex due to construction work.

The ruling

The Tenants' application for a rent abatement due to substantial interference with their reasonable enjoyment of the unit or complex was dismissed. The evidence showed the construction work was necessary and the disruption was proportionate to the nature and extent of the work, and therefore not unreasonable.
