What happened

The Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy because they required the rental unit for their own residential occupation. The Landlords, who had been living in the United States, were moving back to Canada with their two university-aged children. They served an N12 notice with a termination date of August 31, 2025. The Tenants did not dispute the good faith of the Landlords or the payment of required compensation but requested a delay in the eviction until October 31, 2025, claiming the house they purchased was undergoing structural renovations and was currently uninhabitable.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective October 7, 2025. The Tenants must vacate the unit by this date. If they fail to do so, the Landlords may enforce the eviction through the Sheriff's office starting October 8, 2025. No post-termination compensation was granted as it was not requested in the application.
