Citation: Faber v McCutcheon, 2021 CanLII 98172 (ON LTB)
File Number: SWT-44248-20
Hearing Date
Oct 2020
Order Date
Jun 11, 2021
The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $650 for the period of September 1, 2019 to October 2020 due to the unlawful rent increase, and to reduce the rent to $750 per month effective November 1, 2020. The Landlord must also pay the Tenants $50 for the cost of filing the application. If the Landlord does not pay the full amount owed by June 22, 2021, they will owe simple interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord has collected or retained money illegally. The Landlord had increased the rent from $750 to $800 per month, which the Tenants argued was an unlawful increase.
Landlord claimed rent for previous tenants was $800 per month, and that he agreed to reduce the rent by $50 in exchange for the Tenants performing maintenance and repairs. However, the lease agreement did not specify any such maintenance or repair obligations.
