What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, resulting in a pipe burst, water leak, and disrepair to ceiling tiles and a light fixture in the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $186.31 in rent abatement and $45 for the application filing fee, for a total of $231.31. If the Landlord does not pay by the due date, the Tenant may deduct the amount from the November 2015 rent.
