What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to non-payment of rent and the Tenants installing cameras in common areas without consent. The Tenants filed a T2 application claiming the Landlord illegally entered the rental unit, substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment, and harassed or threatened them. The tenancy terminated on May 31, 2024 before the hearings concluded.

The ruling

The L2 application was dismissed due to lack of particulars in the N5 notice. The L9 application was dismissed as no rent arrears were proven. The T2 application was successful only with respect to the Landlord obstructing or interfering with the Tenants, but no remedies were claimed so nothing was ordered. All other claims in the T2 application were dismissed. The Landlord's legal representative was ordered to pay $1,000 in Board costs due to unreasonable conduct causing delays.
