What happened

The Tenant filed T2 and T6 applications alleging the Landlord substantially interfered with his reasonable enjoyment, harassed/threatened him, and failed to meet maintenance obligations. Key allegations included an illegal entry and photo-taking by an agent of the Landlord, death threats, being barred from the rental office, and persistent defects like plumbing issues, ceiling cracks, and uneven flooring confirmed by a City work order.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant a total of $2,566.51. This consists of $1,566.51 as a rent abatement for various maintenance failures from 2018 to 2021, and $1,000.00 in general damages for harassment and illegal entry by the Landlord's agent. Payment must be made by August 22, 2025, or interest will accrue.
