Summary of the Landlords Response
The Agent on behalf of the Landlord claimed that the Tenant had not paid the rent for October and then had disappeared part way through the month of October *, after which the Agent had made the determination that the rental premises had been abandoned. Due to their belief that the rental premises had been abandoned, in early November * the Agent took the step of changing the locks on the entrance door to the rental premises. The Agent claimed that if the Tenant was going to be away from the rental premises for work, the Tenant should have informed the Agent as per their agreement, and then Agent would have known that the property had not been abandoned and would not have changed the locks
It seems you have a solid foundation for your case, considering the landlord's unilateral action to change the locks without proper notice. Here are some key points:
- Documentation: Ensure all communications and evidence are organized.
- Witness Statements: Gather any supporting statements.

Summary of the Tenants Response
The Tenant acknowledged that they had not paid the rent for October or November * and further acknowledged that they had caused some damage to the door to the rental premises. The Tenant however claimed that the damage to the door would not have been made, had the Landlord not breached the Residential Tenancies Act by changing the locks to the rental premises in early November and denying them access. The Tenant also refuted the other claims stating that they left the rental premises in a reasonably clean condition and that it was the Agent who wanted to terminate the tenancy and ultimately forced them out of the rental premises prior to the end of the term, and as such, the Landlord should only be entitled to unpaid rent up to and including Sunday * November *, the last day the Tenant had possession of the rental premises.
Based on the information provided, you have a reasonably strong case, given the landlord's actions and the RTDRS findings. Key points to highlight in your claim:
- The landlord's breach of the Residential Tenancies Act by changing the locks without proper notice.

The parties both testified that the tenancy agreement had been entered into, after the Agent had reviewed documents provided by the Tenant as part of the rental application process. The Agent claimed these documents were to aid in evaluating if the applicant would be a reliable Tenant. The Agent further testified that he had rented to the Tenant because he had a good job. The testimony from both the Tenant and the Agent was that the Agent was often present in the common areas of the rental premise. The Tenant testified to feeling watched by the Agent and that the Agent would routinely raise concerns about their conduct and friend choices, concerns the Agent shared with the Tenants mother. The Tenant testified this was inappropriate because their mother’s contact information had been provided as an emergency contact only, and they believed these concerns were racially based and had nothing to do with them and/or their friends causing any kind of disturbance.

The Agent did not provide a rental ledger into evidence and struggled to verbally provide the specific rental payment amounts and dates received from or on behalf of the Tenant. The Tenant testified they had been late in paying the September rent, because the payment was going to be coming from their mother, and the lateness was exacerbated by the Agent when they failed to provide the required pass code in a timely manner to enable them to send the payment. Both parties agreed that at the beginning of October * the Tenant had advised the Agent that they were going to be late with their October rent because they had recently lost their job but would be able to catch up on the rent in a few weeks. During the hearing the Agent made claims that the Tenant had been fired due to criminal activity without providing any basis for this claim.

The Tenants response was that they had lost their job due to a derailment while their team was on duty, and not due to any kind of personal performance issue. The Tenant testified that after they had told the agent they had lost their job, the Agent had called their mother to ask if they drink and/or does drugs. The Tenant noted that he works on the railways and is routinely tested for drugs as condition of their employment and would not jeopardize their employment in this way.

The testimony and supporting evidence presented by both the Agent and Tenant suggest that during the month of October the Agent became increasingly concerned that the Tenant would not be able to pay the rent and would not follow through on their commitment to get caught up on the rent they owed. The evidence supports that the Agent and Tenant communicated periodically both in person and over text message throughout October and the first half of November, with never more than a week passing, without some form of reciprocal communication.
Your case appears strong, given the landlord's actions and the RTDRS findings. Important points for your claim include:

Despite the Agents initial testimony that the Tenant had disappeared in October and had not been seen by themself or neighbouring Tenants and could not be seen coming and going from their apartment on the security cameras, text message evidence submitted by the Tenant indicates specifically that on the evening of Thursday * November *, the Agent and the Tenant spoke in person at the rental premises.

All communication initiated by the Agent on behalf of the Landlord was either verbal or through text messaging.

The Agent testified that on or around Tuesday * November *, after they made the finding that the Tenant had abandoned the property, he followed the direction given in the Residential Tenancies Act section *(*)(b) pertaining
to Entry of premises, whereby “A landlord is entitled to enter residential premises rented by the landlord without
consent or notice if the landlord has reasonable grounds to believe that (b) the tenant has abandoned the premises”. While the screen shots of the text message communications conflicts with this verbal testimony, the text messages do indicate that the Agent had still had not received a response from the Tenant since the morning of Friday * November *, when they made the decision to not only enter the rental premises but change the locks on the door to the rental premises.

On Friday * November * at *.* PM, one week after having sent their last text message, the Tenant responded to the Agent, with an apology explaining that they had had to leave for work in BC and had then ended up hospital, but they would be back in Calgary on the evening of Saturday * November and would sort everything out at that time. The Agent responded at *.* PM with the following text message “I can’t trust you anymore? I sent you notice to tow your car. If you want to avoid extra tow and storage charges send some one to pick up your car. You have abandon the rental premises. We have changed the locks and you are not allowed to enter the place.

“But this isn’t fair. I have agreed to even pay a month advance. I came back home locks changed without prior 14 days notice in writing. Like I feel terrible about this. But okay. When I am ready with the U-Haul I will contact you.” The Agent responded with a follow up text message stating “First read the lease carefully before blaming. If I want I should have done two months ago?” The Tenant responded that they did not have a copy of the lease and noted that there was one month outstanding for the prior month as well as the current month noting “I am just shocked as to how things are done. A lock can’t be placed on the door without prior notice it’s a $* fine. But I am not down for arguments. So I am getting evicted improperly just saying this.” and proceeded to make additional claims of representatives of the Landlord having improperly entered the rental premises during the tenancy.

The Tenant testified that upon arriving back at the rental premise, having not received a response from the Agent and after having called the emergency line to seek assistance in gaining access to the rental suite, they had found their own way into the unit. The Tenant acknowledged that it was while they were gaining access to the rental unit that they had caused damage to the front door, which they felt they were entitled to do because the Agent had illegally blocked them from entering their rental suite without proper notice.\

On Monday * November, the Tenant testified that they woke up to find that there was no power at the rental premises. They called Enmax, the utility provider to see if there was an outage. They informed the Tenant that there was not an outage but noted that the Tenants name was no longer the name on the account for this property and that the owner had called to say that the Tenant had vacated and had requested that the utilities be put back in their name. The Tenant testified that they had asked for whose name the utilities had been transferred to, but for privacy reasons the representative for Enmax, would not provide the name to the Tenant.

help. The property manager reiterated to the Police that it had been the Landlords Agent who had physically come to the building to shut off the utilities to the Tenants unit. The Police informed the Tenant that they could file an application with the RTDRS to try and resolve the dispute between himself and the Landlord and that the Tenant could also call Consumer Services to have them investigate the Tenants concerns about the conduct of the Agent on behalf of the Landlord. The Tenant further testified that they believed the Agent thought that because they were an immigrant, they would not know what the rules were or that there were these supports in place, and as such thought they could get away with breaking the rules and mistreating the Tenant. The Tenant claimed that it was at this time that they advised the Agent that they were still preparing to leave and asked for more time to find another rental.

The Tenant testified that on Sunday * November *, he rented a U-Haul to remove their remaining possessions. While they were packing the U-Haul, the Agent had arrived at the rental premises with the Police telling them that the Tenant was illegally in the rental property. By this time, the Tenant testified that they had finished packing and cleaning the unit, only leaving behind items that they had found in the unit when they had taken possession. The Tenant further testified that the Agent had been on site still talking to the Police, when they had watched them leave for the final time, refuting the Agents testimony that he had disappeared without telling him. Although the Agent testified that he hadn’t known when the Tenant left, their own evidence which included an “Inspection Checklist & Inventory Report” with a move out inspection date of Monday * November *, indicates that the Agent had known that the Tenant had left for good on Sunday * November *.

The Agent acknowledged that they had not attempted to contact the Tenant to invite them to participate in the move our inspection, and instead chose to complete the inspection on their own on Monday * November *, without the presence of a witness. The Tenant concurred that the Agent had not invited him to attend a move out inspection despite the Agent having their contact information, and further testified that the condition as described by the Agent at move out did not reflect the condition of the rental premises.

The “Inspection Checklist & Inventory Report” submitted into evidence by the Agent, was challenging to read. It was difficult to ascertain what had been written on the report during the move in inspection and what was written during the move out inspection. A copy of the report completed at Move In only, was not submitted into evidence by either party. The Tenant however did acknowledge that they had been present at the move in inspection and had signed the report at that time, agreeing that it fairly represented the condition of the rental premises. The Tenant further testified that they believed the “Inspection Checklist & Inventory Report” submitted into evidence by the Agent was invalid because they had not been given an opportunity to be present at the move out inspection and/or given the
opportunity to sign if they did or did not agree with the condition of the rental premises. The Tenant noted that they

Other than their verbal testimony and the disputed hand-written “Inspection Checklist & Inventory Report” described above, the Agent did not provide any other evidence to support their claims that the Tenant had caused damages to the rental premises. They provided one invoice in support of one of the costs they incurred, for the replacement of the carpet, but this invoice was not supported by proof of payment. The Tenant in their response to the Landlords claims testified to their belief that this one invoice from Carpet Mills Outlet labelled Item D, was fraudulent, as they believed it was written by the Agent, because the writing was the same as on the “Inspection Checklist & Inventory Report”.

Analysis and Decisions
Before describing my analysis and resulting decisions, I would like to provide some context to the parties. When the evidence presented by each party is disputed and in the absence of 3rd party and/or concrete supporting evidence, I must make a finding on a balance of probabilities. This is when I must consider and weigh all the evidence presented and conclude if an event or claim is more likely to have occurred than not.
The first such decision is related to the date upon which this Tenancy began. On a balance of probabilities, I find that the tenancy began on * May * and that the one-year fixed term was due to end on * April *.

Residential Tenancies Act under section * and/or section *(*) which specifically states “If a tenant commits a substantial breach of the residential tenancy agreement, the landlord may apply to a court to terminate the tenancy or may terminate the tenancy by serving the tenant with a notice at least 14 days before the day that the tenancy is to terminate”, the Agent took matters into their own hands to disrupt the Tenants access to the rental premises as well as their peaceful enjoyment of the rental premises. I find it was the actions of the Agent which included changing the locks without notice, sending text messages telling the Tenant to leave,

threatening to have the Tenants car towed, causing the Tenants car to be towed, calling the Police with claims the Tenant was illegally in possession of the rental premises and cutting the power to the rental premises, which ultimately caused the Tenant to vacate the rental premises prior to the end of the one-year fixed term tenancy. The evidence supports that the Agents actions on behalf of the Landlord substantially breached the Residential Tenancies Act and the Tenancy Agreement, and as such I am finding that the Tenants claim for the Tenancy to be terminated as of Sunday * November *, the last day the Tenant had possession of the rental premises, is granted.

Damages (losses) due to breach of tenancy agreement: I find this component of the Tenants application, especially their claim that the actions of the Agent for the Landlord directly caused their job to be terminated, to be sufficiently complex in nature, that the RTDRS is not the appropriate forum to have it decided. As such I have struck this claim from the Tenants application to the RTDRS and find that should the Tenant wish to pursue this claim, they should file this claim at court.

Unpaid rent: I find on a balance of probabilities that the Landlord is entitled to unpaid rent from * October to * November * in the total amount of $*,*.*. While the Agent claims that the Tenant disappeared and he did not know when the Tenant left the rental premises, I find this to be un-true and that the Landlord received vacant possession on Sunday * November * when they witnessed the Tenant leaving the rental premises with their possessions packed into a U-Haul.

Damages to the rental premises: Per Barry v Navratil, * ABPC * paragraph *, the burden of proof is on the Landlord to satisfy on a balance of probabilities that “*) damage to the rental premises has occurred; *) damage was caused by the tenant or permitted by the tenant to occur; and *) the damage is significant, that it is more than reasonable wear and tear”. The Residential Tenancies Act section * requires Landlords to create inspection reports and stipulates that the Landlord may only complete the inspection without the tenant if the Landlord has proposed * inspections to take place.

The Agent acknowledged that they did not invite the Tenant to the move out inspection despite having their contact information and chose to complete it on their own. Had the Agent adhered to the Act regarding inspection reports, the contents of the report provided in support of their claim likely would have held more weight. However, the report as is, does not satisfy that on a balance of probabilities the Tenant permitted significant damages to the rental premises. I also find that the Agent provided insufficient evidence to support not only the costs of the damages they claim the Tenant caused, but on what basis these costs were calculated or if they had expended any funds to complete the garbage disposal, cleaning and/or repairs. On a balance of probabilities, I find that other than some damage to the front door that the Tenant acknowledged causing, the Tenant left the rental premises in a reasonably clean

Loss of rental income: When a tenancy ends early, before the natural expiry, regardless of how the tenancy ends, it is the Landlords obligation to mitigate their losses. The Agent was unable to speak to any specific steps they took to re-rent the unit.

In addition to a lack of concrete evidence to support when the rental suite was re-rented, I also need to consider how the actions of the Agent impacted the early termination of this tenancy. I have already found that it was the Agent who instigated the termination of this tenancy, and not the Tenant. The Tenant repeatedly advised the Agent that they wished to stay and get caught up on their rent. Where a Landlord believes a Tenant has not met their obligations such as paying rent when due, the Residential Tenancies Act section *(*) provides the following remedy “If a tenant commits a breach of a residential tenancy agreement, the landlord may apply to a court for one or more of the following remedies: (a) where the breach consists of non- payment of rent, recovery of arrears of rent”.

I find the Agent on behalf of the Landlord failed to utilize the appropriate remedy. Had the Agent operated in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act, they may have found a resolution in which the Landlord would not have experienced a loss of rental income. Instead, the Agent engaged in improper endeavours to encourage the Tenant to leave. Due to the Agents direct involvement in the early termination of this tenancy and limited evidence to support the steps they took to mitigate their losses or to prove when the rental premises was re-rented, I am dismissing their claim for loss of rental income.

In deliberating on the merits of this claim, it is once again important to consider the impacts of the Agents actions towards the Tenant. In doing so, I find the Agent initiated a variety of tactics to strongly encourage the Tenant to vacate the rental premises prior to the end of the fixed term.
As already described above the Tenant acknowledged their failure to pay rent when rent was due, in both October and November *. In many cases brought before the RTDRS while failure to pay rent for one, two or even three months is found to be a breach of the Residential Tenancies Act section *(a) “that the rent will be paid when due” it is often determined that this alone does not warrant termination of the tenancy. This is supported

money simply because of the existence of clause * in their lease agreement and their belief that this term had been agreed to by the parties when they signed the contract. The precedent created by Cracknell v. Jeffrey, * ABPC * permits for only penalties that are a genuine pre-estimate, to be enforced by the courts and by extension the RTDRS. As a result of all of these factors, I find that the Tenant did not choose of their own volition to vacate the rental premise prior to the end of the fixed term which resulted in the “breach” of clause * of their agreement, and I find this is a penalty and not a genuine pre-estimate of damages, and as such, I am dismissing this portion of the Landlords claim.

The RTDRS likely acknowledges that the landlord changed the locks and restricted your access to the apartment without providing proper legal notice. This is a clear violation of **Alberta Residential Tenancies Act (RTA)**, Section *(*), which prohibits landlords from altering locks without providing tenants with replacement keys during the tenancy period. - Your civil claim should argue that the landlord’s action directly caused you to lose access to your residence and your personal belongings. *. **Utilities Shut-off**: - The landlord turned off utilities (electricity, water, heat) during a cold winter night. Under *
Section * of the RTA, it is illegal for a landlord to discontinue essential utilities without proper cause, especially if the tenant is still legally occupying the unit. The shut-off resulted in significant hardship, both physically and emotionally, and a clear breach of the tenancy laws.
- Focus on the fact that the utilities were cut off despite you still occupying the apartment, resulting in distress and dangerous living conditions.
*. Illegal Towing of Your Vehicle:
- The landlord's action of having your car towed was unlawful and unprovoked. This worsened your situation as your vehicle contained work-related equipment, documents, and personal belongings.
- Highlight that the towing was done without notice, and the landlord falsely reported that proper procedures had been followed, which the RTDRS failed to address sufficiently.
*. Refusal to Accept Rent Payments:
- The landlord refused to accept rent payments when you attempted to resolve the arrears, further complicating your situation and contributing to the unlawful eviction.
- Tenancy Duration: The tenancy began on May *, *, and was supposed to continue until March *, *.

- RTDRS Case Numbers: R24/*, R24/*
- **Date of RTDRS
One of the most egregious aspects of the landlord’s behavior was his refusal to accept rent payments, even when you attempted to pay. The RTA mandates that landlords must continue to accept rent unless they have legal grounds to terminate the tenancy. This indicates bad faith on the part of the landlord, as it suggests he was attempting to frustrate you into leaving so he could re-rent the unit at a higher rate. - This constitutes a clear breach of **Section *** of the RTA, and it indicates a premeditated effort to drive you out of the property. *. **Forgery of Documents Submitted to RTDRS**: - The landlord submitted false or forged documents to the RTDRS in support of his claims. This is not only a breach of tenancy law but also a criminal offense under **Section * of the Criminal Code of Canada (Forgery)**. This could serve as grounds to challenge the credibility of any claim the landlord makes in the future. *. **Emotional Distress**:

The culmination of all these actions—lock changes, utility shut-off, towing of your car, refusal to accept rent, and harassment—caused significant emotional distress. This will form the basis of your emotional distress claim, as it goes beyond financial losses to affect your well-being. - While you did not go to the hospital, this does not prevent you from claiming emotional distress, as the psychological toll of the landlord's actions is valid. Under Canadian common law, landlords are obligated to act in good faith and to ensure that their actions do not unduly harm tenants. *. **Landlord's Damage Claim for the Door**:
