What happened

Tenants filed an application (T2) claiming the Landlord substantially interfered with their enjoyment and harassed or coerced them. The claims involved a historical leak from 2018, an email regarding renovations and selling from June 2023, and a demand letter for damages sent after the tenants had already moved out. The Landlord challenged the Board's jurisdiction based on the one-year limitation period and the termination of the tenancy.

The ruling

The Tenants' application was dismissed because all claims were either filed outside the mandatory one-year limitation period or occurred after the tenancy had already ended, leaving the Landlord and Tenant Board without legal jurisdiction to rule on the matters.
