Personal use (N12)

Tenant

L., J.

What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served the Tenants with an N12 notice indicating that he requires the rental unit for his own personal residential occupation. The Tenants vacated the rental unit, and the Landlord moved into the unit a few weeks later.

The ruling

The Tenants' application was dismissed. The Landlord's evidence showed that he served the N12 notice in good faith and moved into the rental unit within a reasonable time after the Tenants vacated.
