The Landlord substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment by disconnecting the stove, illegally entering the rental unit, and harassing the Tenant. The Tenant is entitled to a rent abatement of $1,810.10 and reimbursement of $232.91 for out-of-pocket expenses. The Landlord must pay the Tenant the full amount of $2,088.01 by January 9, 2022, or will owe interest.
Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlords harassed, obstructed, coerced, threatened or interfered with the Tenant; entered the rental unit illegally; and substantially interfered with the reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit or residential complex by the Tenant or by a member of the Tenant's household.
Landlord argued that the Tenant had been tampering with the smoke detector, justifying the Landlord's actions.
Landlord disconnected the stove, illegally entered the rental unit, served an illegal notice of termination, and made discriminatory comments about the Tenant's financial and employment status.
Landlord did not follow proper procedures under the Act, such as serving a valid notice of termination and obtaining a Board order before taking action.
Landlord's actions showed a blatant disregard for the Tenant's rights under the Act. Landlord took the law into their own hands instead of following proper procedures.
