What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Tenant moved out after the Landlord served a N12 notice claiming the Landlord required possession of the rental unit for her own residential occupation. However, the Landlord did not move into the Tenant's unit after the Tenant vacated, and instead rented out part of the main floor to a daycare.

The ruling

The Tenant's application was granted. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $567.90 for rent differential and moving expenses, and an administrative fine of $2,500 to the LTB.
