What happened

The Tenant applied for remedies alleging the Landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations regarding water leaking from windows and resulting mold growth. The Landlord argued that the issues were caused by the Tenant's failure to control humidity and maintain adequate heat in the rental unit.

The ruling

The Tenant's application for maintenance remedies was dismissed. The Board found that the Landlord acted reasonably and promptly in responding to the Tenant's complaints about water and mold. The evidence indicated that the issues were likely caused by high humidity due to the Tenant's failure to properly heat the unit and use ventilation.
