Judgment (14 paragraphs)
Parties
- The Applicant is the tenant of residential premises at XXX Regatta Road Canada Bay ("the rented premises"). For the sake of convenience the Applicant shall hereinafter be referred to as "the Tenant". The Tenant represented herself at the hearing with the assistance of a support person Zoe Paleologos.
- The Respondents are the landlords of the rented premises. For the sake of convenience the Respondents shall hereinafter be referred to as "the Landlords". The Landlords were represented by their agent Denise Owen of Prestige Realty Group.
Application
- In an application filed in the Tribunal on 8 March 2021 the Tenant requested orders for the Landlords to carry out repairs, compensation for breach of agreement and a rent reduction. Further the Tenant claimed that a notice of termination based on rent arrears issued during the moratorium period was retaliatory.
- The Landlords' application for an order for termination and possession (File no RT21/18418) was dismissed. Accordingly the Tribunal is not required to determine if the Notice of Termination is retaliatory.
- The Tenant's claim for repairs to the rented premises was resolved by mutual agreement. The Tribunal made orders by consent to give effect to that agreement.
- The remaining issues concern the Tenant's claim for rent reduction and compensation. The Tribunal will turn to a consideration of those claims.
