What happened

Tenant applied for orders related to the landlord's failure to maintain the rental unit and harassment. The landlord failed to address water leaks and uneven flooring issues in a timely manner. The landlord also tried to coerce the tenant to sign a new lease.

The ruling

The landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations and was ordered to pay a rent abatement of $233.30 and $50 in application costs to the tenant. No fine was imposed as the rent abatement and costs were sufficient to address the issues.
