What happened

The Tenants filed an application alleging that the Landlords harassed, obstructed, or interfered with them by failing to provide rent receipts. The Tenants moved out in April 2023 and only requested the receipts after vacating. The Board had to determine if the Landlords' failure to provide receipts post-tenancy constituted interference under the Act.

The ruling

The Tenants' application was dismissed. The Board found that the Landlords' failure to provide rent receipts did not constitute harassment or interference under Section 29(1)4 of the Residential Tenancies Act because the requests for receipts were made after the Tenants had already moved out. The Act requires the alleged interference to happen during the period of occupancy.
