What happened
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord altered the locking system on a door giving entry to the rental unit or residential complex without giving them replacement keys and substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenants or by a member of their household.
The ruling
The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $125 for the reasonable costs to repair/replace the property damaged due to the Landlord's failure to address the substantial interference caused by the loud banging/knocking from the upstairs tenants. The Landlord is also ordered to pay the Tenants the $48 filing fee. If the Landlord does not pay the full amount by February 13, 2022, the Landlord will owe simple interest at 2% annually on the outstanding balance.
