Holding

The reference and application are allowed, and the Tenant is granted complete quiet possession of the demised premises. The landlord must return all items taken and pay arrears with immediate effect.

Facts

The Tenant claims the landlord locked the door to his premises and took some of his properties, and seeks an injunction and return of items. The landlord denies these claims and asserts the Tenant delayed rent payments.

Issues

  1. Whether the landlord has locked the door to the premises
  2. Whether the landlord took the Tenant's properties
  3. Whether the landlord has issued a termination notice
  4. Whether the landlord should be restrained from harassing, interfering, or evicting the Tenant

Reasoning

The controlled tenancy exists, and the landlord has not issued a termination notice. The Tenant's rent payments are in order, and the landlord must return the items and pay arrears.
