Tenant

M.A.

What happened

The Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord collected or retained money illegally (T1) and that the Landlord harassed or substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment (T2). The claims involved parking issues due to construction, harassment via eviction notices and tickets, ongoing construction noise, pest issues, water shutdowns, and inadequate heating. The Landlord maintained that actions were necessary for building safety and maintenance.

The ruling

All applications filed by the Tenant were dismissed. The Board found that the Landlord did not collect illegal charges, did not harass the Tenant, and did not substantially interfere with the Tenant's enjoyment or vital services. The Landlord's actions regarding construction and maintenance were deemed necessary and appropriately communicated.
