What happened

Landlord applied for unpaid rent and tenant expenses, while tenant applied for damages due to lack of maintenance. The court determined it had jurisdiction over the rent arrears claim but not the maintenance issues, which fell under the Landlord and Tenant Board's jurisdiction.

The ruling

The Landlord is entitled to $914.79, which includes rent for June and July 2014 minus the security deposit and interest owed to the Tenant. The Tenant's claim for damages due to lack of maintenance is dismissed as it falls under the jurisdiction of the Landlord and Tenant Board.
