What happened

Tenants filed a T6 application seeking an abatement of rent due to the Landlord's failure to maintain the HVAC system, which caused a humming noise that substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit.

The ruling

The Tenants' application is dismissed. The Landlord responded promptly to the Tenants' complaints about the HVAC noise and made efforts to address the issue. The Tenants failed to provide sufficient evidence to support their claim of substantial interference with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit.
