What happened

The Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord: entered the rental unit illegally, substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex, harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant, and withheld or interfered with their vital services or care services and meals in a care home.

The ruling

The Tenant's application is dismissed. The Landlord's employee opened the entry door without written legal notice, but did not enter the unit. The Landlord's agent substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment, but the Landlord's response was reasonable, and the interference did not warrant termination of the tenancy. The Tenant's request for moving costs was denied.
