What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant due to substantial interference, alleging the Tenant made unauthorized alterations to the rental unit. The Tenant filed a counter-application claiming the Landlord failed to maintain the carpet in the bedrooms and illegally entered the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlord's application was dismissed. The Tenant's T6 application regarding the carpet was dismissed, but the Tenant's T2 application regarding illegal entry was granted, with the Landlord directed to only enter the unit in accordance with the Act going forward. The Landlord was ordered to pay the Tenant $50 for the application filing fee.
