What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord 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, and 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 ruling

The Landlord shall pay the Tenant $50.00 for laundry expenses and $45.00 for the cost of filing the application. The Landlord shall complete necessary repairs to the kitchen countertop, back window, main door knob and vinyl flooring, and replace all missing screens by September 30, 2015. If the Landlord does not complete the repairs, the Tenant is authorized to arrange for the repairs and deduct the cost from the rent.
