What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Tenant had paid $14,406 after the application was filed, and the remaining rent arrears were $894. The Tenant had issues with the fridge in the rental unit and had to purchase a new one, which the Adjudicator found offset the remaining rent arrears.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed as the cost of the fridge purchased by the Tenant offsets the remaining rent arrears.
