What happened

Tenants 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 dispute concerned the malfunctioning kitchen faucet in the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlord shall pay the Tenants a rent abatement of $182.47 and the filing fee of $45.00, for a total of $227.47. If the Landlord does not pay the full amount by June 8, 2018, the Tenants may deduct the amount from the rent for July 2018 and the Landlord will owe interest on the outstanding balance.
