Landlord rep

David Ciobotaru

What happened

A group of 83 tenants from a residential complex filed a T3 application for a rent reduction due to the discontinuance of the swimming pool and backyard access. The landlord had discontinued these services in 2019. The tenants filed their application in December 2022, which was significantly after the one-year limitation period.

The ruling

The Tenants' application for a rent reduction due to the discontinued use of the swimming pool and backyard is dismissed. The application was filed in December 2022, over three years after the services were discontinued in 2019. This is beyond the one-year limitation period set by section 130(5) of the Residential Tenancies Act, meaning the Board has no jurisdiction to hear the matter.
