Camille Tancioco

Dispute

Failure to meet maintenance obligations, Withholding or interfering with vital services or care services and meals in a care home, Harassment, Substantial interference

Landlord

M.T., P.T.

Tenant

J.D., E.B.

What happened

The Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlords substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex, harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenants, and failed to meet the Landlords' maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.

The ruling

The Landlords' review request is denied. The administrative fine of $5,700 is not excessive, and the hearing member's findings of fact regarding the Tenants' car being towed and delayed repairs are reasonable.
