What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to rent arrears. The Tenant moved out before the hearing but raised Section 82 maintenance issues, including a long-term leaking window, a cracked bedroom window, and air conditioning/furnace failures, seeking significant rent abatements.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated effective the move-out date of October 31, 2024. The Tenant was ordered to pay $843.50. This amount represents the total arrears of $3,046.80 plus the $186.00 filing fee, significantly reduced by a total of $2,389.30 in rent abatements granted for the Landlord's failure to repair a leaking window and a cracked window.
