What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlords withheld or deliberately interfered with the reasonable supply of a vital service that the Landlords are obligated to supply under the tenancy agreement, specifically sufficient heating in the rental unit.

The ruling

The tenancy was terminated as of December 1, 2020. The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenant $1,500, which represents the Tenant's last month's rent and reasonable damages for the Landlords' failure to provide sufficient heating, a vital service under the tenancy agreement.
