The Landlord's application is denied as the Landlord is in serious breach of their maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act. The Tenant is ordered to pay the rent arrears of $16,557.36 by April 30, 2024, and the Landlord is ordered to complete necessary repairs by March 31, 2024. If the Tenant fails to pay the arrears by the due date, they will owe interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
Landlord in serious breach of maintenance obligations
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to failure to pay rent. The application was filed after serving a valid N4 Notice, which the Tenant did not void by paying the arrears. The Tenant was still in possession of the rental unit on the hearing date.
Landlord Representative argued Tenant failed to pay rent and intended not to, and sought conditional order for Tenant to pay rent going forward.
Landlord Representative claimed Landlord was unaware of issues until September 2023, and provided receipts for repairs done in 2023.
Tenant argued Landlord is in serious breach of maintenance obligations under the Act, and sought order for Landlord to complete repairs.
Tenant testified about issues with ceiling, bathroom, and mold since 2019, and that Landlord failed to address them despite multiple letters.
