What happened

The Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment and harassed/threatened them. An initial order on June 6, 2025, found the Landlord had harassed the Tenant by repeatedly questioning them about guests and requesting illegal rent increases, awarding the Tenant a $1,000 lump sum abatement. The Landlord filed a request for review of that order, claiming errors in fact-finding and evidence consideration. This review order denies the Landlord's request, confirming the original decision.

The ruling

The Landlord's request for review of the June 6, 2025 order was denied. The Board confirmed the original decision, which ordered the Landlord to pay the Tenant $1,000.00 as a lump sum abatement for harassment involving repeated questions about guests and attempts to obtain illegal rent increases.
