What happened

The Tenant, who was the former owner of the property, filed applications against the current Landlord for failure to meet maintenance obligations (T6) and for substantial interference and harassment (T2). The Tenant claimed to have a 'blanket permission' agreement to perform repairs and be reimbursed for costs around $11,000. The Landlord disputed this agreement. The tenancy had already ended by mutual agreement prior to the hearing. The Board found the Tenant's claims were unsupported by evidence and dismissed both applications.

The ruling

The Tenant's applications for maintenance issues (T6) and tenant rights violations (T2), including a request for a $10,000 remedy, are dismissed. The Board found the Tenant failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove her claims that she had an agreement for reimbursement of repairs or that the Landlord substantially interfered with her enjoyment of the unit. The Landlord's actions were deemed reasonable.
