What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant, entered the rental unit illegally, altered the locking system without providing replacement keys, substantially interfered with reasonable enjoyment, and withheld or interfered with vital services.

The payment is due by January 28, 2022, with interest accruing at 2.00% annually on any outstanding balance after that date.
