What happened

The tenant filed applications alleging that the landlord substantially interfered with his reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit and failed to meet the landlord's maintenance obligations. The issues included water leaks, cold air, mold, lack of washing machine, and other concerns. The tenant sought various remedies including rent abatement, compensation, and repairs.

The ruling

The tenant's applications were dismissed as the allegations were either previously settled, statute-barred, or not supported by evidence.
