What happened
Landlord filed multiple applications against Tenant for illegal acts, utility costs, property damage, substantial interference, and altering the locking system. The L2 application based on the N6 notice was dismissed due to being filed out of time and containing a fatal flaw. The L8 application regarding the altered locking system was partially addressed.
The ruling
The Landlord's L2 application was dismissed due to procedural errors. The L8 application resulted in an order for the Tenant to provide keys to the Landlord by February 4, 2023. The Landlord's claim for locksmith expenses was denied due to inconsistent testimonies and disputed circumstances.
