What happened

Tenant filed T2 and T3 applications against Landlords for harassment, substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment, and reduction of services. The main issues were parking restrictions, denial of shed access for bicycle storage, and removal of a cabana.

The ruling

The Board ordered that the Tenant has the right to two unassigned parking spaces and to store her bicycle in the shed. The Landlords must pay the Tenant $1,866.20 for rent abatement and parking ticket reimbursement, plus $50.00 for the application fee. If not paid by June 5, 2018, the Tenant may deduct the amount from future rent payments.
