What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The Tenant filed a counter-application alleging the Landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations, comply with health/safety standards, and substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment.

The ruling

The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $3,251.90, which includes rent arrears, compensation, and the application filing fee, less the rent deposit, interest on the deposit, and the rent abatement for the cockroach issue. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by July 7, 2017, they will owe interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
