What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord failed to meet the Landlord's maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards due to ongoing plumbing and septic issues in the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlord shall pay the Tenants $2,548.00, which represents a rent abatement of $2,500.00 for the period ending April 4, 2022 and the $48.00 application filing fee. The Landlord must pay the full amount by September 15, 2024, after which interest will accrue at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
