What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord failed to meet the Landlord's maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards. The Tenant also applied for an order determining that the Landlord, or the Landlord's superintendent, or the Landlord's agent substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenant or by a member of the Tenant's household.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant a rent abatement of $680 for the maintenance issues and substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment. The Landlord must inspect the unit for the shower diverter, bedbugs, and roaches, and make necessary repairs/treatments by specified dates. If the Landlord fails to comply, the Tenant may file a new application.
