What happened

The Tenants alleged that the Landlords repeatedly served invalid notices of termination and made demands of the Tenants which the Landlords had no right to make, substantially interfering with the Tenants' reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlords' actions amounted to a substantial interference with the Tenants' reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit. The Tenants are entitled to a rent rebate of 15% per month for the periods of August 2022 to November 2022 and October 2023 to December 2023, as well as the cost of filing the application.
