Reported Cases
Areas of Law considered in this case: - Residential Landlord and Tenant - Grounds for Termination of Lease & Eviction - Writ of Possession - Landlord and Tenant Act
Haschyc v. Crowley, [1990] O.J. No. 446 (D. C.)
In this landlord and tenant dispute, I represented the landlord, successfully. The landlord applied to terminate the tenancy, and collect rent arrears and obtain possession of the property by obtaining a writ of possession under Section 113 of the Landlord and Tenant Act.
The tenant cross-applied for an abatement or reduction of rent [because a part of the house could not be used due to the defective heating system] and her recovery of the cost of certain repairs. The terms of the tenancy agreement permitted the tenant to set off the cost of certain necessary repairs against rent owing.
The tenancy was declared terminated. The costs of heating and plumbing repairs were set off against rent owing. The tenant was not entitled to rent abatement since the rent had not been increased for six years.
