What happened

Tenant filed a T5 application alleging that the Landlord served an N12 notice in bad faith. The Tenant claimed the Landlord wanted to increase the rent or sell the property, not have his son move in as stated in the N12 notice.

The ruling

The Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith, as the evidence did not show the Landlord's son moved in before the property was sold. The Tenant is awarded $600 for increased rent and $700 for moving costs.
