What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord entered the rental unit illegally and altered the locking system without providing replacement keys. The original order was reviewed, and the Board found that the Residential Tenancies Act applies to this tenancy, contrary to the Landlord's claim.

The ruling

The Board granted the request to review the original order. The amount owing for illegal entry was reduced from $2,000 to $1,000. The total amount owed by the Landlord to the Tenant is $4,998. The interim order issued on February 8, 2023, is cancelled, and the stay of the original order is lifted immediately.
