What happened

Tenants applied for orders related to substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment, reduction or discontinuance of service or facility, and failure to meet maintenance obligations due to landlord's balcony repair work.

The ruling

The Board found that the landlord's agent (the contractor) substantially interfered with the tenants' reasonable enjoyment due to the unreasonable duration of the balcony repair work. The Board awarded a 25% rent abatement for 4 months and ordered the landlord to pay the tenants' application filing fee.
