What happened
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served an N12 notice stating he wanted to move into the rental unit, and the tenancy was terminated on June 30, 2019. The Tenants moved out on May 1, 2019 and the Landlord rented the unit to his worker shortly after.
The ruling
The Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith. The Tenants are awarded $5,100 for the increased rent they incurred and $1,000 for moving expenses.
