What happened

The Tenant filed multiple applications (T1, T2, T6) alleging illegal rent collection, illegal entry, harassment, and maintenance failures. During the hearing, the parties reached a settlement on the T1 and T6 applications, with the Landlord agreeing to pay $1,200.00 and the Tenant withdrawing the maintenance claim. The hearing proceeded on the T2 application regarding an illegal entry where the Landlord turned off the Tenant's fan without permission and an altercation in the kitchen where the Landlord allegedly yelled at and shoved the Tenant.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant a total of $1,248.00 (settlement plus filing fee) by September 22, 2025. If payment is not made, the Tenant may deduct $249.60 from the rent monthly starting October 2025. Additionally, the Landlord must pay a $200.00 administrative fine to the Landlord and Tenant Board for harassing and shoving the Tenant.
