What happened

The Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord entered the unit illegally, substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment, and harassed or threatened the Tenant. The Tenant also sought compensation for moving expenses and rent differentials after vacating the unit. The Landlord did not attend the hearing despite being properly served.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $1,248.00 by November 1, 2025. This includes $1,200.00 as a rent abatement for substantial interference due to noise and $48.00 for the application filing fee. Claims regarding illegal entry, harassment, and moving expenses were dismissed due to insufficient evidence or lack of legal merit.
