What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlords failed to meet their maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards due to lack of heat in the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlord failed to maintain adequate heat in the Tenant's unit from September 30, 2019 to mid-February 2020, and did not respond to the Tenant's complaints in a reasonable manner. The Tenant is entitled to a rent abatement of $747.15 and the Landlord must pay the Tenant's application filing fee of $45.00.
