Not at all, since you say it's clear cut. Get what is yours, but there's always a chance for revenge from greedy landlords.

My advice would be to ensure written documentation for his refusal, file the case, and if you are subjected to anything resembling harassment, file another case with LLO. Keep meticulous track of what happens and when, and store all communication, and keep it all in writing. If the landlord manages to catch you in a call, follow up with a mail confirming the phone call, with a request for the landlord to confirm as well. Do nothing without having it in writing, and make it clear to the landlord.

It might not be comfortable to be this defensive, but it protects you from potential backlash. The more you keep it professional and in writing, the less the landlord will want to act petty, because they know they will lose any case raised against them by LLO.

If your lease is time limited (they usually are, as it’s otherwise nearly impossible to evict you), then just keep in mind that it probably won’t be renewed.
