What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord failed to meet its maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards. The issues were related to damage to the main entrance intercom and remote security, and issues with the underground parking garage.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants a rent abatement of $83.22 and $45 for the cost of filing the application, for a total of $128.22. If the Landlord does not pay by April 19, 2021, the Tenants may deduct $83.22 from the May 2021 rent and the Landlord will owe interest on the outstanding balance.
