What happened

The Landlord applied to evict the Tenant from a room in a shared condo for non-payment of rent. The Tenant raised several counter-claims (s. 82 issues), including harassment by the Landlord's sister, a rat infestation, and wrongful revocation of parking privileges. The Tenant also complained about noise from another tenant, shared freezer space, heating, and building buzzer access, but these claims were dismissed by the Board. The Board granted the Tenant a rent abatement for the successful claims but issued a conditional eviction order for the outstanding rent arrears.

The ruling

The tenancy is conditionally terminated. The Tenant can void the eviction by paying $3,628.19 by June 30, 2025. If the Tenant fails to pay and does not vacate, the Landlord can file for eviction after July 4, 2025. If the tenancy terminates, the Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $1,479.51 for rent arrears and costs, after deducting payments made, the rent deposit with interest, and a rent abatement of $548.81. The abatement was granted due to harassment by the Landlord's sister, a rat infestation, and the illegal revocation of parking.
