What happened
Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord withheld or interfered with their vital services, specifically the service of heat, by not properly and quickly repairing or replacing the inoperable furnace in the rental unit from October 4 to October 31, 2023.
The ruling
The Landlord must pay the Tenant $1,562.70, which includes a rent abatement of $1,514.70 for 22 days without adequate heat and the $48 application fee. The Landlord deliberately withheld the vital service of heat by not promptly replacing the inoperable furnace.
