What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord failed to meet the Landlord's maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards following a fire in the adjacent unit.

The ruling

The application is dismissed. The Tenants' evidence did not establish that the fire or the Landlord's response to the fire rendered the rental unit unfit for habitation or that the Landlord failed to maintain the rental unit in a good state of repair.
