The Tenancy is terminated as of July 28, 2023. The Landlord shall pay the Tenant $14,660.20, which includes a rent abatement, costs, and general damages. The Landlord Equity Builders Ltd. shall also pay an administrative fine of $35,000.00 to the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlords: altered the locking system on a door giving entry to the rental unit or residential complex without giving the Tenant replacement keys, substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenant or by a member of their household, and harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant.
The Landlord was only concerned with the safety and wellbeing of its tenants, and that the decision to restrict access was made in the interests of the tenants' safety and well-being.
The Landlord made the difficult decision of restricting the ability of the tenants to access or return to their units, until the repair and remediation work had been completed, due to concerns about the tenants' safety and well-being.
The Landlord blatantly disregarded the Act and a Board order putting the Tenant back in possession. The Landlord's behaviour demonstrates a contempt for the Board and the Act.
Tenants testified that their unit was not damaged by the fire, and that they were granted limited access on April 10, 2023 to retrieve their possessions, which were completely untouched.
