What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord, superintendent, or agent of the Landlord has: entered the rental unit illegally, altered the locking system on a door giving entry to the rental unit or residential complex without providing replacement keys, and harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant(s).

The ruling

The Tenant has proven that the Landlord altered the locking system by deactivating the Tenant's fob, rendering his guests without access to the rental unit. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $250 for the inconvenience and to immediately activate the fob. The Tenant's other claims were dismissed.
