What happened

Tenant applied for orders determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit by failing to properly treat the unit and complex for bedbugs, and by failing to prevent second-hand cigarette smoke from entering the Tenant's unit. The tenancy terminated on April 30, 2022.

The ruling

The Landlord must pay the Tenant $2,908.00 by June 6, 2023 for failing to properly address the bedbug issue, which substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment. The Tenant's claim for second-hand smoke was dismissed.
