What happened

A tenant applied for an order regarding the landlord's failure to meet maintenance obligations after a flood from an upstairs unit damaged his apartment. The flood caused warped flooring, damaged walls and ceilings, and led to mold. The tenant also sought compensation for damaged belongings. The landlord did not attend the hearing.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant a total of $648.00 by April 26, 2025. This amount consists of a $500.00 rent abatement for the hazardous, improperly finished floor, $100.00 for damaged property, and the $48.00 application fee. Interest at 5.00% will apply to any unpaid balance after the due date. The tenant's other claims for compensation were dismissed.
