Tenant must pay over $7K even though unit was dirty
In a RTB case, a landlord applied for an order of possession based on the tenants not paying rent. The tenants argued that the unit was very dirty and that they withheld rent for this reason.
The arbitrator found that the tenants did not have the right to withhold rent, even though the unit they resided at was dirty. The arbitrator ruled that the tenants had to pay the landlord about $7,000 and an order of possession was granted. We have experience in residential tenancy cases.
