What happened

Tenant filed an application alleging harassment, substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment, and interference with vital services by Landlords. Tenant complained about disrepair, mice infestation, and high utility costs, particularly propane. Landlords agreed to terminate the tenancy, but Tenant sought additional remedies.

The ruling

The Tenant's application was dismissed. The Board determined that maintenance issues were not part of this application, high utility costs were agreed upon in the tenancy agreement, and the Landlords were not liable for damage to the Tenant's property. The Tenant was not entitled to moving costs or additional remedies despite the Landlords' agreement to terminate the tenancy.
