What happened

Tenants applied for orders determining that the Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith (T5) and collected or retained money illegally (T1). The Landlords failed to attend the hearing despite being served a Notice of Hearing.

The ruling

The Landlords served a notice of termination in bad faith, and failed to pay interest on the rent deposit and compensation for the notice of termination, as required by the Residential Tenancies Act. The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenants $14,377.52, which includes the rent differential, moving expenses, and the amounts owed for the rent deposit interest and notice of termination compensation.
