What happened

Tenants 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 primary concern was a lack of heat in the unit.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated on December 31, 2021. The Landlord shall pay the Tenants a rent abatement of $2,000 (50% of rent for Oct 15 - Dec 31, 2021) and return the $1,600 last month rent deposit, for a total of $3,600 owed to the Tenants. The Landlord must pay the full amount by January 3, 2022, or will owe interest.
