What happened
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord failed to meet the Landlord's maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards. There was a flood in the Tenant's basement unit, which the Landlord did not investigate for about 3 months, resulting in damage to the Tenant's personal property. The Landlord then tried to illegally evict the Tenant.
The ruling
The Landlord failed to investigate the cause of a flood in the Tenant's unit for about 3 months, resulting in damage to the Tenant's property. The Landlord then tried to illegally evict the Tenant. The Landlord must pay the Tenant $26,668 for rent abatement, damages, and moving expenses.
