What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants, claiming they required the unit for residential occupation for at least one year. The application was contested on legal grounds regarding the Landlord's corporate status and failure to provide compensation.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for eviction based on personal use was dismissed. As the Landlord is a corporation, it is ineligible under the Residential Tenancies Act to issue a notice for personal use. Additionally, the Landlord failed to satisfy the legal requirement of paying compensation to the Tenants.
