What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that Landlords 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; substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenants or by a member of their household; and withheld or deliberately interfered with the reasonable supply of a vital service, care service, or food that the Landlords are obligated to supply under the tenancy agreement.

The ruling

The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenants a total of $4,403.45, which includes $2,209.20 in rent abatement, $2,000.00 for the illegal entry and lock out, and $146.25 for out-of-pocket security expenses. The Landlords must pay the full amount by January 16, 2022, after which interest will accrue.
