What happened
The Tenant filed an application alleging the Landlord illegally entered the unit, changed the garage door code (the sole point of entry), failed to address cockroach and mould issues, harassed her via text and in person, and withheld heat. The Landlord denied all allegations, providing evidence of prompt repairs and reasonable responses to maintenance complaints.
The ruling
The Tenant's application was dismissed in its entirety. The Board found that the Tenant failed to prove the allegations of illegal entry, harassment, or maintenance failures on a balance of probabilities, and several claims were barred by the statutory one-year limitation period.
