What happened

Tenants applied to the Landlord and Tenant Board alleging that the Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith, as the Landlords' mother (LP) never moved into the rental unit after the Tenants vacated, and the unit was instead sold.

The ruling

The Landlords gave the N12 notice in bad faith, as their mother (LP) did not move into the unit within a reasonable time after the Tenants vacated. The Tenants are awarded $1,243 for moving costs and $50 for the application filing fee.
