The Landlord and Tenant Board found that the Landlord breached confidentiality regarding the Tenant's N15 Notice. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $2,500.00 in general damages plus $53.00 for the application filing fee, totaling $2,553.00.
Tenant filed a T2 application alleging that the Landlord substantially interfered with reasonable enjoyment by breaching confidentiality regarding the Tenant's N15 Notice (Tenant's Notice to End Tenancy Because of Fear of Sexual or Domestic Violence and Abuse).
The Landlord argued that they were unaware of what an N15 Notice was at the time and did not research it before contacting the co-signer.
Landlord disclosed the receipt of N15 Notice to the co-tenant's mother (guarantor) on the same day it was received. Landlord claimed the initial N15 Notice was blurry and unreadable.
Landlord failed to maintain confidentiality regarding the N15 Notice as required by section 47.4(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act.
The Tenant argued that the Landlord's breach of confidentiality led to more harassment and uninvited interaction from the co-tenant, causing mental and emotional distress.
Tenant issued two N15 Notices, with the second having a termination date of August 20, 2021. Tenant vacated the unit on July 20, 2021, briefly returned on August 4, 2021, and then moved out again before August 20, 2021.
