What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit due to extensive exterior renovations that caused loss of natural light, dust, and poor air quality for an extended period.

The ruling

The Board ordered the Landlord to pay the Tenants $3,532.25, representing a 25% rent abatement from November 2019 to June 2020, plus the $45 filing fee. The Board found that the Landlord's extensive renovations substantially interfered with the Tenants' reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit due to loss of natural light, dust, and poor air quality for an extended period.
