11/02/2026– Jurisdiction Ontario
Part 93 published on 01/03/2026
Respondents’ behaviour constituted harassment and a nuisance

The corporation alleged that the Respondents had engaged in a pattern of unreasonable conduct which constituted harassment and had created a nuisance, annoyance and disruption.

 

The Tribunal found that the Respondent Zhang breached the Corporation’s anti-harassment rules.  The Tribunal ordered compliance “specifically, to cease knocking/banging on and peering into witness Maria Hoffman’s bedroom window, placing objects on that window’s sill, patrolling around her property, and photographing and/or videotaping her”.   The Tribunal also found that the Respondents had created a nuisance and ordered them “to ensure their visitors do not block their shared driveway, to remove plants blocking Ms. Hoffman’s window, and to permanently remove a ‘[unit address] common element occupier’ sign.”

 

The Respondents were also ordered to pay $18,925 in costs and $848 in damages.
