What happened

The Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to non-payment of rent. The Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord entered the rental unit illegally and failed to meet the Landlord's maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. These applications were heard together.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to non-payment of rent was granted. The Tenants' application regarding illegal entry and maintenance issues was partially granted, with the Landlord ordered to pay the Tenants $814.80 for a rent abatement and reimbursement of laundry costs due to bed bugs. The Tenants were ordered to pay the Landlord $2,993.70, which includes rent arrears, application filing fee, less the rent deposit, interest, abatement, and out-of-pocket costs.
