What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex. During the hearing, the parties reached a settlement through a consent order where the Landlord agreed to pay a significant sum to the Tenant in exchange for the withdrawal of multiple legal applications, including a Human Rights Tribunal case.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $12,000.00 on or before September 20, 2025. This payment is part of a settlement agreement where the Tenant must withdraw a pending Human Rights Tribunal application and all other legal actions related to the tenancy, except for one specific pending Landlord application. If the Landlord fails to pay on time, 4% annual interest will apply.
