What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards. The dispute centered around a water leak incident on February 14, 2018.

The ruling

The Tenant's application was dismissed. The Landlord was found to have responded to the water leak complaint within a reasonable time, stopped the leak, dried the affected areas, and carried out necessary repairs. The Tenant failed to provide sufficient evidence to support their claim of property damage.
