What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenant or by a member of their household due to the disruptive conduct of the upstairs tenant.

The ruling

The Landlord must pay the Tenant $1,592.12, which represents an abatement of rent and the cost of filing the application, due to the Landlord's failure to address the substantial interference by the upstairs tenant.
