What happened
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord or the Landlord's superintendent or agent substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenants or by a member of their household. The dispute centered around the behaviors of another tenant in an adjacent unit and the Landlord's response to the Tenants' complaints.
The ruling
The Landlord substantially interfered with the Tenants' reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit by not taking effective and timely steps to address the noise complaints against the other tenant. The Tenants are awarded a 15% rent abatement for 13 months, totaling $3,968.25, and the cost of filing the application, $45.00, for a total of $4,013.25 owed to the Tenants.
