What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants because the Landlord in good faith requires possession of the rental unit for residential occupation for at least one year. The Landlord served an N12 notice on November 29, 2021, with a termination date of January 31, 2022.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective December 31, 2022. The Landlord's application for personal use was granted based on his medical needs for dialysis treatment and concerns about infection. The Board considered the Tenants' circumstances, including their long-term tenancy and a child with special needs, and postponed the eviction date to balance the interests of both parties.
