What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord failed to meet the Landlord's maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards. The Tenant also applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenant or by a member of the Tenant's household.

The ruling

The Landlord shall pay the Tenant $30.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Landlord does not pay the Tenant the full amount owing by April 22, 2017, the Tenant will owe interest. The Tenant may recover this amount by deducting $30.00 from the rent for May 2017 if the Landlord does not pay by April 30, 2017.
