What happened
Tenants applied for orders determining that the Landlord substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit and harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with them. The Tenants also applied for an order determining that the Landlord entered the rental unit illegally, altered the locking system on a door giving entry to the rental unit without giving the Tenants replacement keys, and substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit.
The ruling
The Board found that the main floor living room was part of the rental unit and that the Landlord illegally entered the unit, substantially interfered with the Tenants' reasonable enjoyment, and harassed the Tenants. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $13,370.29 for rent abatement and filing fees, return access to the living room, and pay an administrative fine of $2,600.
