The Divisional Court dismissed the tenant's appeal of three LTB decisions. The court found no legal errors in the LTB's rulings regarding the tenant's claims for damages and rent abatement due to excessive noise. The court upheld the LTB's previous decisions, which had granted partial remedies to the tenant, including a rent abatement and damages for pain and suffering.
Tenant appealed three LTB decisions related to his claim for damages and rent abatement against his landlord due to excessive noise from adjacent units. The LTB had previously granted partial remedies to the tenant, including a rent abatement and damages for pain and suffering. The tenant sought to appeal these decisions, arguing for higher damages.
The landlord breached its obligations under s. 22 of the Residential Tenancies Act by not taking adequate measures to stop disruptive noise coming from adjacent units.
The tenant argued that the damages awarded were inadequate because the landlord is a multi-million dollar corporation and the damages were not sufficient to dissuade or prevent the landlord from repeating this behavior with other tenants.
The tenant filed multiple applications with the LTB for the same issues and sought to appeal LTB decisions granting partial remedies.
