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.

“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.

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 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 Tenant referred to their supporting evidence which contained a link to a video which they testified to having taken on Sunday * November * prior to leaving as they were concerned that the Agent would try to keep their security deposit.

This video showed a reasonably clean two-story rental unit with one large item sitting on the kitchen counter in an otherwise clean looking kitchen, a handful of smaller items left on the counter in an otherwise clean looking bathroom, a box spring in the corridor of the lower level and a storage container sitting on a shelf in the walk-in closet to an otherwise clean looking bedroom. There were no visible signs of carpet damage observed. The Agent refuted this testimony stating that their report proved there were damages, despite not providing any additional supporting evidence such as photos or video taken while conducting the inspection, or the testimony of a third party or witness.

Your case seems strong, given the landlord's multiple breaches, including changing locks without proper notice and turning off utilities. Here are some key points to strengthen your claim:

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 *.

Tenants Claims: As the Tenant filed their application first, I will begin by addressing their claims. Termination of the Tenancy: The Tenant claims that it was the Agent who had wanted the Tenancy to end early. That despite the Tenant being forthcoming with their inability to pay the rent when due in October, and repeatedly advising the Agent that they wanted to stay and wanted to get caught up on the rent they owed, it was the Agent who both verbally and by their actions communicated that they no longer wanted the tenancy to continue and wanted 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.

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

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.

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.

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 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**:
