What happened

The Tenant filed a T2 application alleging that the Landlord substantially interfered with her reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit and harassed her. The Tenant's allegations include the Landlord restricting her access to the laundry facilities, trying to restrict her boyfriend from attending the rental unit and residential complex, and using video surveillance to monitor her and her boyfriend.

The ruling

The Landlord's attempt to impose an illegal rent increase and terminate the tenancy for no proper purpose constituted harassment. The Landlord is ordered to pay an administrative fine of $1,000 to the Landlord and Tenant Board.
