What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations or comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards regarding bedbugs.

The ruling

The Tenant's application was dismissed. The Landlord took reasonable steps to address the bedbugs, but the Tenant failed to prepare the unit for treatment. The evidence suggests the bedbugs were likely transported by the Tenant, not caused by the Landlord's neglect.
