What happened
The Tenant filed multiple applications (T6, T2, T5) alleging the Landlords failed to maintain the property, entered the unit illegally, interfered with reasonable enjoyment, and served an eviction notice in bad faith. The issues included non-functional air conditioning, water damage to the ceiling, lack of window screens, and a confrontation where police were called during a Landlord entry. The Tenant also alleged that the N12 notice for personal use was served as retaliation for involving municipal inspectors.
The ruling
The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenant a total of $6,168.98. This includes $2,855.64 in rent abatement for various maintenance failures and interference, $1,400.07 for air conditioning repairs, $817.27 for moving expenses, $1,000.00 in general compensation for bad faith eviction, and the $96.00 filing fee. The Member found the Landlords served an N12 notice in bad faith as retaliation for maintenance complaints and failed to occupy the unit within a reasonable time.
