What happened

Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants because the Landlord has entered into an agreement of purchase and sale of the rental unit and the purchaser requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation.

The ruling

The application is dismissed because the Landlords have not paid the compensation required under section 48.1 of the Residential Tenancies Act, which is a statutory precondition to the granting of the application.
