What happened

The Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord: entered the rental unit illegally, altered the locking system on a door giving entry to the rental unit or residential complex without giving the Tenants replacement keys, substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenants or by a member of the Tenants' household, harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenants, and withheld or interfered with the Tenants' vital services or care services and meals in the care home.

The ruling

The Tenants have been granted a lump sum rent abatement of $500.00 and the Landlord must pay the Tenants $548.00 by April 30, 2023. If the Landlord does not pay by the due date, the Tenants may deduct the amount from the rent in May 2023 and the Landlord will owe interest on the outstanding balance.
