What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlords had served an N12 notice claiming the purchasers (E.I. and I.I.) required the unit for personal use, but later advertised the unit for rent within a year of the Tenants moving out.

The ruling

The Landlords were found to have served the N12 notice in bad faith. They were ordered to pay the Tenants $1,516.20 for moving expenses, increased housing costs, and the application filing fee. An administrative fine of $1,000 was also imposed on the Landlords.
