What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit. The allegations centered around the Landlord's conduct during entry to the unit in December 2021, including making comments about the Tenants' children and culture.

The ruling

The Landlord's comments about the Tenants' culture and their children's cleanliness substantially interfered with the Tenants' reasonable enjoyment of the unit. The Landlord is ordered to refrain from making such comments and to pay the Tenants $48 for the cost of filing the application.
