What happened
The Tenant filed a T2 application alleging that the Landlord entered the rental unit illegally, substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment, and harassed or threatened the Tenant. At the hearing, a preliminary issue was raised regarding the lack of details and particulars in the Tenant's claims. The Adjudicator found that the application consisted of generalized and vague allegations without specific dates, making it impossible for the Landlord to prepare a proper defense.
The ruling
The Tenant's application was dismissed in its entirety. The Board found that the Tenant failed to provide the necessary particulars and dates in their T2 application, resulting in a lack of procedural fairness for the Landlord. As the Landlord could not adequately prepare a defense against vague and generalized allegations, the Board did not hear the merits of the case.
