What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit. The Tenant served an N9 Notice to terminate the tenancy early due to ongoing issues with other tenants, particularly unreasonable noise. The Landlord sought to have the application dismissed, claiming the Tenant was liable for the remaining rent.

The ruling

The tenancy between the Landlord and Tenant is terminated as of February 28, 2021. The Landlord shall pay the Tenant $53.00 for the cost of filing the application. If the Landlord does not pay the Tenant the full amount owing by November 30, 2021, the Landlord will start to owe simple interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
