What happened
Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit by discontinuing access to the internet, which was included in the rent.
The ruling
The Tenant's application is dismissed. The Tenant has not satisfied the Board that the loss of internet access from April 28, 2023 to when she vacated the unit one month later was a substantial interference with her reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit. The Tenant also failed to demonstrate that she took reasonable steps to mitigate her losses from the discontinuance of internet.
