What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenant or by a member of the Tenant's household. The issue to be determined is whether the Landlord's decision to change free visitor parking to paid parking amounts to substantial interference of the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment.

The ruling

The Tenant's application is dismissed. The Landlord's decision to change free visitor parking to paid parking does not amount to substantial interference with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment, as the Tenant's guests' choice not to pay for parking does not create an obligation for the Landlord.
