The examiner’s order that the landlord abate two days’ rent and his imposition of a fine for the landlord’s failure to do so on his own initiative was an abuse of discretion because these remedies were not based on fact findings applying the regulatory criteria. The order is reversed and the case remanded to the hearing examiner for findings on whether the breakdown was unexpected, the restoration of heat within two days was “prompt,” and, if not, whether the landlord’s failure to abate rent accordingly was “willful.” 15 So ordered. 2
