What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served the Tenant with an N12 notice indicating that the Landlord and the Landlord's child would be moving into the rental unit. The Tenant vacated the unit, but the Landlord did not move in and instead re-rented the unit to another tenant shortly after.

The ruling

The Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith, as the Landlord did not move into the unit after the Tenant vacated and instead re-rented the unit to another tenant shortly after. The Tenant is awarded $4,500 in general damages and the Landlord is ordered to pay a $1,000 administrative fine.
