What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit and failed to comply with maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. The issues arose from a flood in the residential complex that affected the Tenant's unit.

The ruling

The Landlord must pay the Tenant $393.00, which includes a $345.00 rent abatement and $48.00 for the cost of filing the application. The tenancy is terminated as of March 31, 2022.
