What happened

Landlords applied to terminate tenancy and evict Tenant for personal use of the rental unit. Tenant contested the application, arguing that Landlords' intention was not in good faith but rather to evict Tenant for complaining about issues with the rental unit.

The ruling

The Landlord and Tenant Board dismissed the Landlords' application to terminate the tenancy for personal use. The Board found that the Landlords failed to establish a genuine good faith intention to occupy the rental unit, as evidence suggested their primary intention was to evict the Tenant for complaining about tenancy issues.
