Régie finds state of unit did not justify abandonment

In a recent decision by Administrative Judge Lucie Sabourin, the Régie du logement refused a request from two tenants to terminate their lease, receive damages and reduce their rent. Believing their apartment was unfit for habitation, the tenants sent a notice of abandonment to the owner and left the premises. After an in-depth analysis, the judge found the tenants’ decision unwarranted.
