What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The Tenant claimed he withheld rent due to a broken window that the Landlord failed to fix for 11 months.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective September 30, 2020. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $4,419.70, which includes rent arrears, compensation, and costs, less the rent deposit, interest on the deposit, and rent abatement. The Tenant can void the eviction order by paying $6,088.25 on or before September 30, 2020.
