What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith. Landlords served an N12 notice claiming they required possession of the rental unit for personal use, but listed the property for sale shortly after Tenants moved out.

The ruling

The Board found that the Landlords gave the N12 notice in bad faith. The Tenants were successful in their T5 application. The Landlords were ordered to pay the Tenants $3,302.09, which includes compensation for increased rent for one year, moving expenses, and the application filing fee.
