What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlords harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant and 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 (T2 application), and that the Landlords failed to meet the Landlords' maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards (T6 application). The issues were related to the elevators in the residential complex being in disrepair.

The ruling

The Landlords are ordered to maintain the elevators in a good state of repair and respond in a timely manner to any complaints that an elevator is not functioning properly.
