What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to non-payment of rent and persistent late payment of rent. The Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment, harassed the Tenant, and failed to meet the Landlord's maintenance obligations.

The ruling

The Landlord failed to meet their maintenance obligations under the Act, and substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment. The Tenant is liable for 25% of the rent from June 1, 2022 to September 7, 2022, and 100% of the rent from September 8, 2022 to March 29, 2023. The Tenant owes the Landlord $12,926.83 after the rent deposit is applied.
