What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord, the Landlord's superintendent or the Landlord's agent 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 acted in bad faith in terminating the tenancy and substantially interfered with the Tenants' reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit. The Tenants are awarded $3,600 for the increased rent they incurred, $422.84 for out-of-pocket expenses, and the Landlord is ordered to pay a $2,000 administrative fine.
