What happened

The Tenant filed T2 and T6 applications against the Landlord concerning a prolonged washroom ceiling leak, a bed bug infestation, and an incident where the Tenant was locked inside a temporary unit. The Tenant had already vacated the rental unit prior to the hearing.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant a lump-sum rent abatement of $700.00 for the failure to repair the washroom ceiling in a timely manner. The Tenant's T2 application for substantial interference and the parts of the T6 application related to bed bugs and a lock-in incident are dismissed.
