What happened

Tenants filed a T2 application alleging that the Landlord substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit. The Tenants vacated the unit on or about March 31, 2022, and claimed the Landlord's real estate agent pressured them to move out earlier, moved their belongings without consent, and incurred unauthorized moving and storage costs.

The ruling

The Landlord substantially interfered with the Tenants' reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit through the actions of their agent. The Tenants are awarded $2,448 for the costs of replacing lost property and out-of-pocket expenses.
