What happened

The Tenants filed T2 and T6 applications alleging that the Landlord entered their rental unit illegally and failed to address maintenance issues, specifically mold under fan coil units. The illegal entry occurred during building-wide HVAC repairs where the Landlord inadvertently failed to provide notice to this specific unit. Additionally, while the Landlord eventually remediated mold, the Board found they did not act in a timely manner despite being aware of building-wide issues months earlier.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants a total of $2,187.25 by October 14, 2025. This includes $600.00 for an illegal entry that occurred without notice and $1,539.25 as a rent abatement for mold maintenance delays. If the Landlord fails to pay, the Tenants are authorized to deduct the amount from their rent in two installments in November and December 2025.
