What happened

The Landlord applied for an order because the Tenant altered the locking system on the rental unit's door without the Landlord's consent. This prevented the Landlord from conducting a mandatory fire/life safety inspection. The Tenant did not attend the hearing. The Board considered the Landlord's uncontested evidence.

The ruling

The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord a total of $541.00. This amount consists of $340.00 for the cost of changing the unauthorized lock and $201.00 for the application filing fee. The payment is due by June 16, 2025. If the amount is not paid by the due date, interest will be charged at 5.00% annually.
