What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served the Tenant with two N12 notices, and the Tenant vacated the rental unit on June 30, 2022. The Landlord listed the unit for rent in October 2022, within 12 months of the Tenant vacating, triggering a presumption of bad faith under the Act.

The ruling

The Landlord must pay the Tenant $5,053.00, which includes $5,000.00 as general compensation and $53.00 for the cost of filing the application. The Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith, and the Tenant was required to move a significant distance away from her previous home.
