What happened
Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant and 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 Tenant claimed the Landlord failed to address various maintenance issues and served an inappropriate N4 notice.
The ruling
The Tenant's application that the Landlord harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant is dismissed. The Tenant's application that the Landlord substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenant is granted. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant a rent abatement of $50.00 and $45.00 for the cost of filing the application, for a total of $95.00.
