Decision
The Tenants' application regarding tenant rights and harassment was dismissed because it was filed after the expiry of the one-year limitation period set out in section 29(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.
Dispute
The Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord entered illegally, altered locks without providing replacement keys, substantially interfered with reasonable enjoyment, harassed or threatened the Tenants, and withheld vital services.
Determinations
- Section 29(2) of the Act establishes a one-year limitation period for claims under section 29.
- The tenancy terminated on September 17, 2024, pursuant to prior order LTB-L-059072-24-RV, and the application was filed on September 19, 2025, making it out of time and subject to dismissal.
- The Tenant's request for an adjournment was denied as the requested documents were not relevant to the limitation period issue.
- The Board lacks the discretion to hear an application filed outside the limitation period.
- The issue of when the tenancy ended is subject to issue estoppel as it was previously determined by the Board.
