Harassment, Maintenance

Landlord rep

J. Jarvis, P. Fisher

What happened

Tenant applied for orders related to harassment by the landlord's superintendent and failure to maintain the rental unit and residential complex. The tenant alleged noise issues from the unit above, harassment by the superintendent, and issues with a neighboring tenant's cat.

The ruling

The tenant's applications were dismissed. The noise complaints were found to be reasonable sounds of everyday living in an older building. The alleged harassment by the superintendent did not meet the legal threshold. The tenant's evidence regarding the neighboring cat was insufficient to establish a breach by the landlord.
