What happened

The Tenant filed an application alleging that the Landlord substantially interfered with his reasonable enjoyment and harassed him. The dispute centered around a series of N12 notices served after the Tenant refused a verbal 90-day notice to move. The Board investigated whether the notices were served in bad faith to coerce the Tenant into vacating.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $203.00 by July 21, 2025, which includes a $150.00 rent abatement for harassment and the $53.00 application filing fee. If the Landlord fails to pay, the Tenant is authorized to deduct the amount from the August 2025 rent.
