Case Study
The landlord is responsible for providing and maintaining the rental unit in a good state of repair and fit for habitation. The tenants raised issues with the failure of the boiler and the increased cost of heating. The Landlord and Tenant Board found that the landlord made reasonable efforts to address the boiler issue and provided heaters, and there was insufficient evidence to establish a breach of the landlord's maintenance obligations.
