Also, you are not permitted to have lawyers or legal aid involved in a branch arbitration case and no lawyer would even touch the Residential Tenancy Act.

I am not saying that the landlord would get a 100% favorable ruling as the judge would most likely decide what is fair compensation (and the landlord is obligate to show effort in solving the problem-also in the RTA), but it would not be 'tossed' out.

I guess the laws here a very different than in Ontario, cause there it'd be tossed, I was under the assumption there were certain things federally that couldn't be overridden provincially. Oddly I thought it was pretty much similar everywhere, guess not.
