What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with them, entered the rental unit illegally, altered the locking system on a door giving entry to the rental unit or residential complex without giving them replacement keys and substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenants or by a member of their household.

The ruling

The Landlord improperly enforced the eviction order after the tenancy was reinstated. The Board has jurisdiction to put the Tenants back in possession of the rental unit.
