What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex due to issues with second-hand smoke, rats, windows, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, drug dealing, and breach of privacy.

The ruling

The Landlord failed to reasonably address the second-hand smoke issue, which substantially interfered with the Tenants' enjoyment of the rental unit. The Tenants are awarded a rent abatement of $1,143.34 and $2,100 for moving expenses.
