What happened

The Tenant filed T2 and T6 applications alleging illegal entry, lock alterations, substantial interference, and failure to meet maintenance obligations. The Tenant specifically raised issues regarding an intercom system, mailbox repairs, and bathroom renovations that left the unit partially uninhabitable. The Landlord defended the claims by citing tenant uncooperativeness, security concerns for contractor tools, and external factors like vandalism and police investigations.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant a total of $1,240.00 as a rent abatement for maintenance failures regarding the building intercom and the unit's bathroom. If the Landlord fails to pay by the deadline, the Tenant is authorized to deduct $310.00 from their monthly rent starting December 2025 for four months.
