What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord illegally entered the rental unit, altered the locking system without providing replacement keys, substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit, and harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenants.

The ruling

The Tenant's application is dismissed. The Landlord did not illegally change the locks or deny the Tenant access to the rental unit. The lock change was conducted by the condominium management as part of a standard key audit to ensure building safety, and the Tenant was provided with a new key promptly.
