What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord failed to meet its maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards. The issue was a plant/tree growing from the baseboards in one of the rental unit's rooms.

The ruling

The Landlord must pay the Tenants $2,795.92 for a rent abatement and costs. The Tenants proved the Landlord failed to meet its maintenance obligations under the Act by not promptly and reasonably addressing the issue of the plant/tree growing in the rental unit.
