What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord failed to meet the maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards. They also alleged the Landlord or the Landlord's superintendent/agent harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with them, substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex, and withheld or deliberately interfered with the reasonable supply of a vital service, care service, or food that the Landlords are obligated to supply under the tenancy agreement.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants a rent abatement of $380 and $48 for the cost of filing the application, for a total of $428. If the Landlord does not pay the full amount by June 25, 2023, the Landlord will owe simple interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
