What happened

The Tenants applied for a rent abatement, alleging the Landlord failed in its maintenance obligations by not adequately addressing excessive noise and vibration from a commercial kitchen located below their unit. The Landlord contested, stating they took reasonable and continuous steps to resolve the issue, including significant repairs and providing rent abatements, and argued no further compensation was due.

The ruling

The Tenants' application for a rent abatement due to noise and vibration is dismissed. The Board found that the Landlord acted reasonably to address the issue, undertaking significant repairs and providing adequate compensation through prior rent abatements. The Landlord was not found to be in breach of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.
