What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 due to a bed bug infestation, cracks in the walls, and removal of a curtain rod and box frame.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $500 as rent abatement and $7.99 for the Tenant's cost of sealant due to the Landlord's failure to seal cracks/gaps as recommended by the pest control company. The tenancy is terminated effective May 31, 2020.
