What happened

Tenant filed applications alleging the Landlord entered the rental unit illegally, substantially interfered with reasonable enjoyment, and failed to meet maintenance obligations. The main issues were a water leak from an upstairs unit, repairs following the leak, and alleged illegal entries by contractors.

The ruling

The Tenant's applications were dismissed. The Board found that the Landlord's response to the water leak was reasonable and did not constitute a breach of maintenance obligations or substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment. The alleged illegal entries were either not proven or justified under emergency circumstances.
