What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that Landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. Issues included a malfunctioning toilet, broken windows, non-working central air, leaking bathroom ceiling, and issues with the front door.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants a rent abatement of $5,758.77 and to complete the required repairs and replacements within 30 days. If the Landlord does not complete the work, the Tenants are authorized to arrange for the repairs and deduct the costs from their rent.
