What happened

Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants because the Landlord in good faith requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation for at least one year. The Landlord also claimed compensation for each day the Tenants remained in the unit after the termination date.

The ruling

The Landlord's application is dismissed. In consideration of the Tenants' overall circumstances, it would be unfair to terminate this tenancy. The Tenants have lived in the rental unit for six years, raised their family, paid their rent, and established this as their home. Despite the Landlord's daughter's desire to reside in the rental unit, relief from eviction is granted.
