What happened

Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant because the Landlords require possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation by their daughter. The Landlords did not meet the requirements under section 72(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 to provide an affidavit sworn by the person who needs the unit.

The ruling

The Landlords' application to evict the Tenant for the purpose of residential occupation by the Landlords' daughter is dismissed. The Tenant shall return the compensation cheque to the Landlords or, if they have cashed it, pay the amount back to the Landlords by November 30, 2021. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by that date, they will owe interest at a rate of 2.0% annually.
