What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord and Landlord's Agent substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex, harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenants, and failed to meet the Landlord's maintenance obligations.

The ruling

The Tenants' T6 and T2 applications were partially granted. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $463, which includes a $410 rent abatement and $53 for the cost of filing the application. The Landlord acted reasonably in addressing some maintenance issues, but fell short in resolving the kitchen drain issue in a timely manner.
