Synopsis
The court granted tenant’s motion to enjoin landlord from reporting unpaid rent to credit reporting agencies pending trial. Tenant, representing herself, alleged a lack of hot water in the kitchen for 3.5 years and in the bathroom for 8 months. The court ruled that reporting unpaid rent in such circumstances would deter tenants from exercising their right to withhold rent for repairs. Under CCA §110(c), the court found it had authority to issue injunctive relief to protect housing standards.
