What happened

Tenant applied for orders determining that the Landlords substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex, and that the Landlords failed to meet their maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006. The application was resolved by order TET-10517-20 issued on July 31, 2020. The Landlords requested a review of the order, which was heard on April 6, 2021.

The ruling

The order TET-10517-20 issued on August 4, 2020 is cancelled and replaced. The Landlords shall pay the Tenant a rent abatement of $2,600, with $1,900 from the second-named Landlord and $700 from the first-named Landlord. The second-named Landlord shall inspect the crack in the ceiling of the child's bedroom and act reasonably regarding any repair needed. The terms of this order resolve all the Tenant's issues within the Tenant's applications for maintenance and tenant's rights to date.
