What happened

Tenant filed an application alleging that the landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. The issues included a broken air conditioning unit, kitchen sink leak, leaking shower head and bathtub faucet, balcony door gap and broken handle, loose ceiling fan, and dirty air vents.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $3,067.68 as a rent abatement for the maintenance issues. The full amount must be paid by October 23, 2023, after which interest will accrue.
