What happened

The Tenant applied for an order claiming the Landlord substantially interfered with his reasonable enjoyment and withheld vital services (electricity). The Tenant's electricity was disconnected for non-payment. The Landlord argued that according to the lease and an Energy Services Agreement, the Tenant was responsible for paying utilities directly to the provider.

The ruling

The Tenant's application was dismissed in its entirety. The Board found that the Tenant was contractually responsible for the electricity costs and failed to pay them, leading to disconnection by the provider. The Landlord was not found to have withheld or interfered with vital services.
