Why has she continued to pay? This is very confusing. That money would have been better spent on a team of inspectors, photographs, and legal fees.
Probably because if you don't pay rent you can end up evicted and then functionally barred from living anywhere.
Thats when you start putting your rent into escrow and tell the landlord he can have it when the place is fixed. The courts will probably support you in this as long as you’re actually paying to an escrow account.
That probably is the logic. This shit is pretty fucked up.
This appears to be the real problem. Can't really stop paying until there's some sort of ruling.
^^^ This.
The problem is that the LTB is completely sandbagged. This is, of course, by design because the Ford government would much prefer to further dismantle the state and set up a system that gives more power to landlords.
