What happened
Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant, entered the rental unit illegally, altered the locking system on a door giving entry to the rental unit or residential complex without giving the Tenant replacement keys, substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenant or by a member of the Tenant's household and withheld or deliberately interfered with the reasonable supply of a vital service, care service, or food that the Landlord is obligated to supply under the tenancy agreement.
The ruling
The Landlord harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened and interfered with the Tenant, entered the rental unit illegally, altered the locking system, substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment, and withheld vital services. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $2,720 for replacement of personal effects, $4,000 in general damages, and $400 for motel expenses. The Tenant is not required to pay rent for September 1-6, 2019 due to lack of hydro and hot water.
