What happened

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

The ruling

The Landlord harassed and threatened the Tenant, deactivated the Tenant's building FOB, and likely disposed of the Tenant's possessions. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $500 for harassment, $1,350 for alternative accommodation expenses, and $12,969 for the disposed property. The tenancy is terminated as of September 30, 2020.
