What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. Landlord served an N12 notice for personal use by Landlord's daughter. Tenant moved out, but claims the daughter did not move in within a reasonable time.

The ruling

The Tenant was awarded $6,399.00 in total, including rent abatement, rent differential for one year, moving costs, and the application filing fee.
