What happened
Tenant filed T2 and T5 applications alleging the Landlord substantially interfered with reasonable enjoyment and gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Tenant claimed she was pressured to move out due to the Landlord's false claims of renovations and personal use, without proper notices or compensation.
The ruling
The Board found that the Landlord substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment by improperly pressuring her to terminate the tenancy. The Landlord was ordered to pay the Tenant $2,307.00, which includes rent abatement, rent differential, moving expenses, lost wages, and the application filing fee.
