What happened
The Tenants filed two applications (T2 and T6) alleging that the Landlord substantially interfered with their enjoyment of the unit through harassment, withholding vital services (heat and water), and failing to meet maintenance obligations. Key issues included temperatures dropping to 12°C, water shut-offs without notice, threats regarding parking, and a toilet that remained partially functional but unrepaired for 21 months.
The ruling
The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $9,617.00 for rent abatements, property damage, and filing fees. The Landlord must also repair a hole in the wall by September 15, 2025, and cease all harassment and threatening communications. Use of the parking space is confirmed as part of the rent. If the Landlord fails to pay, the Tenants may deduct $800 per month from their rent until the debt is satisfied.
