J.M.C., J.C.

What happened

The Tenants filed an application (T2) alleging that the Landlords harassed, coerced, and threatened them. The allegations included a demand for an illegal rent increase of $100 per month under the threat of moving in, and a request for the Tenants to vacate the unit in October 2022 without compensation or an N12 notice. The rent increase issue was withdrawn as it was subject to a previous application. The remaining harassment claim was dismissed because it was filed more than one year after the alleged conduct occurred.

The ruling

The Tenants' application for an order determining that the Landlords harassed or coerced them was dismissed. The Board found that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the case because the Tenants failed to file the application within the one-year limitation period required by the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.
