What happened

Tenant filed two applications: a T1 alleging the landlord did not apply the last month's rent deposit to the last month of the tenancy and did not provide the required compensation under s.48.1 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006; and a T2 alleging the landlord substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit.

The ruling

The Tenant's T1 application was dismissed, as the Landlord was found to have applied the last month's rent deposit properly and provided the required compensation under the Act. The T2 application was also dismissed, as the Landlord's communications with the Tenant, while frequent, were not found to constitute harassment or substantial interference with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment of the unit. The Landlord was ordered to pay the Tenant's filing fee of $45.
