Landlord must pay Tenants $1,853, including a rent rebate of $1,800 for the period of November 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023 when garage parking was unavailable, and the application filing fee of $53.
Tenants applied for a rent reduction due to a reduction or discontinuance of garage parking, a service or facility provided with the rental unit.
Landlord argued that a rent reduction of $50 per month for 3 months would be appropriate, as this represents a fair price for a parking spot in the local market.
Landlord offered to provide a carport or reduce rent by $50 per month to compensate for the loss of garage parking, but the Tenants declined these offers.
Tenants argued that the reduction in parking was not reasonable and that they had selected the rental unit due to the garage parking. They sought a rent reduction of $300 per month for the 6 month period.
Tenants were unable to access the garage parking starting November 1, 2022 due to a vehicle belonging to the downstairs tenant blocking the entrance. The garage parking was restored in April 2023 after the landlord constructed a driveway extension.
