What happened
Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenant and withheld or deliberately interfered with the reasonable supply of a vital service (heat) that the Landlord is obligated to supply under the tenancy agreement.
The ruling
The Tenant's application is dismissed. The Landlord provided the residential unit with a brand new furnace in July 2019 and a supplemental heater to ensure the Landlord consistently provided the vital service of heat to the Tenant at the 20 degree Celsius standard.
