The Tenant has proven that the Landlord altered the locking system by deactivating the Tenant's fob, rendering his guests without access to the rental unit. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $250 for the inconvenience and to immediately activate the fob. The Tenant's other claims were dismissed.
Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord, superintendent, or agent of the Landlord has: entered the rental unit illegally, altered the locking system on a door giving entry to the rental unit or residential complex without providing replacement keys, and harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant(s).
Landlord argued that the activated fob could only be provided to the Tenant if he were present to pick it up himself, as he did not have proper authorization from the Tenant to activate the fob for the guest's use.
Landlord attempted to change the locks of the rental unit, but was denied entry. Landlord felt their actions of deactivating the fob were warranted due to perceived safety issues.
Tenant argued that the Landlord should not have deactivated the fob, particularly since he was out of the country and the request for reactivation did not seem reasonable.
Tenant's guest was unable to access the condo complex due to the deactivated fob while Tenant was out of the country.
