The ruling

The Board dismissed both the T6 and T1 applications filed by the Tenant. The Landlords were found to have taken reasonable measures to address the rodent issue, and were entitled to retain the last month's rent deposit and December rent as the tenancy was not properly terminated by the Tenant.
