What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant because the Landlord has entered into an agreement of purchase and sale of the rental unit and the purchaser requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenant remained in the unit after the termination date.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. The Landlord failed to prove that the purchaser, SM, requires the rental unit for residential occupation in good faith. The evidence suggests that the purchaser is acting as an agent for a property developer, IL DH, who wants to demolish the rental unit for a commercial enterprise.
