What happened
The Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlords: altered the locking system on a door giving entry to the rental unit or residential complex without giving the Tenant replacement keys; substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenant or by a member of their household; and harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant.
The ruling
The Tenants have not been restored possession of their rental unit. The Landlord shall at their own expense remove, repair and store the Tenant possessions, until the Tenant is fully restored possession of the unit. The Landlord shall pay the Tenant $17,060.20 for out-of-pocket expenses, general damages, and costs. The Landlord Equity Builders Ltd. shall pay the Landlord and Tenant Board an administrative fine of $35,000.00.
