Tarion ordered to pay half of mould remediation costs; claims for secondary damages and defects dismissed.
The Applicant appealed a Tarion Warranty Corporation decision denying claims regarding mould in the basement, incorrect stair stain colour, central vacuum rough-in location, and secondary compensation costs.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the home fit for habitation but ordered Tarion to pay half the estimated cost for further mould remediation, noting the Applicant's failure to mitigate humidity.
The Tribunal dismissed the claims for the stain colour, central vacuum, and secondary compensation, finding the latter excluded under the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act.
