What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants due to failure to pay rent. Tenants applied for an order determining that Landlord failed to meet maintenance obligations, substantially interfered with reasonable enjoyment, harassed, and withheld vital service.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $696.68, which offsets the $5,882.93 the Tenants owe the Landlord. The Landlord unlawfully withheld electricity and failed to maintain the property, causing the Tenants mental distress and other expenses.
