The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants a rent abatement of $380 and $48 for the cost of filing the application, for a total of $428. If the Landlord does not pay the full amount by June 25, 2023, the Landlord will owe simple interest at 6% annually on the outstanding balance.
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord failed to meet the maintenance obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 or failed to comply with health, safety, housing or maintenance standards. They also alleged the Landlord or the Landlord's superintendent/agent harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with them, substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex, and withheld or deliberately interfered with the reasonable supply of a vital service, care service, or food that the Landlords are obligated to supply under the tenancy agreement.
Landlord argued the issues were minor and could have been addressed.
Landlord's agent acknowledged the rental unit remained vacant for approximately one month prior to the Tenants' move-in, allowing dust to accumulate. The agent also testified the alleged mold was sprayed and treated.
Tenants vacated the rental unit 10 days after moving in due to the poor condition of the unit, including unclean bathtub, slow draining shower, mold, missing flooring, missing interior door, and lack of ceiling lighting.
