What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlords failed to meet their maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 by not maintaining the required heat level in the second bedroom of the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlords failed to maintain the required heat level in the Tenant's second bedroom, in breach of their obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. The Landlords did not respond reasonably to the Tenant's complaints about the lack of heat. The Tenant is awarded a rent abatement of $1,077.44 and the cost of filing the application.
