What happened

The Tenants filed an application against the Landlord, alleging substantial interference with their reasonable enjoyment and harassment. At the hearing, the Landlord's representative raised a preliminary issue, arguing the application lacked sufficient details, such as specific dates and times of the alleged incidents. The Tenant acknowledged this deficiency and admitted to serving their disclosure evidence only one day before the hearing. The Board dismissed the application on procedural grounds, finding that the lack of particulars and late disclosure were procedurally unfair to the Landlord and that the application disclosed no reasonable cause of action.

The ruling

The Tenants' application alleging harassment and substantial interference by the Landlord is dismissed. The decision was made on a preliminary basis without hearing the merits of the case, as the application lacked sufficient details and evidence was provided late, which was deemed procedurally unfair to the Landlord.
