What happened

The Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlords harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant, altered the locking system on a door giving entry to the rental unit without giving the Tenant replacement keys, and substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlords breached their obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act by illegally locking the Tenant out, harassing and threatening the Tenant, and substantially interfering with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit. The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenant $14,739.80 and an administrative fine of $7,000.00.
