Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord illegally entered the rental unit, altered the locking system without providing replacement keys, and substantially interfered with the Tenant's reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit.
Landlord argued the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 did not apply because the Tenant was required to share kitchen and bathroom facilities with the Landlord.
