What happened

Tenant filed T1 and T2 applications against Landlords. T1 application alleged illegal charges for hydro. T2 application alleged harassment, threats, and substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment due to Landlord's actions following an incident where Tenant cut down trees in the residential complex.

The ruling

The Board dismissed the T1 application due to lack of jurisdiction over hydro charges. For the T2 application, the Board found that the Landlords harassed and threatened the Tenant and substantially interfered with reasonable enjoyment. The Landlords were ordered to pay the Tenant a $400 rent abatement and to refrain from harassing or threatening any tenant in the complex.
