What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord had served an N12 notice claiming his parents would move into the unit, but after the Tenants moved out, the unit was advertised for rent at a higher price.

The ruling

The Board found that the Landlord gave the N12 notice in bad faith. The Tenants were awarded compensation for increased rent for one year ($5,280.00) and moving expenses ($800.66), totaling $6,130.66 including the application filing fee.
