What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy because the Tenant changed the lock on the patio door to a deadbolt without permission, which the Landlord considered substantial interference. The Tenant cited security and harassment concerns as her reason. The Landlord was not seeking eviction but wanted the original lock restored.

The ruling

The Tenant is ordered to restore the original locking mechanism on the patio door by July 1, 2025. If she fails to do so, the Landlord is authorized to perform the restoration. The Tenant must also pay the Landlord $186.00 for the application fee by June 1, 2025. The tenancy is not terminated as relief from eviction was granted.
