Landlord-TenantTenant’s Harassment Claims DismissedLegal Fees Awarded to LandlordTenant Had Denied Landlord Access for Inspection and Repair
The petitioner tenant had commenced a harassment proceeding against the landlord, alleging that the landlord "either used force, threatened the use of force or implied the use of force; repeatedly brought court cases against her for no good reason; and repeatedly caused or permitted acts or omissions that substantially interfered with or disturbed her comfort, peace or quiet." The harassment allegedly began in August, 2004 and continued through the date of the petition. The tenant also alleged that there were numerous water leaks and floor vibrations, that the landlord "threatened to evict her if she did not stop making complaints and cursing at the superintendent," that she had advised the landlord that she would no longer pay rent until the harassment stopped and that the landlord’s agents had advised the tenant that "they would ‘get her out.’"
