What happened
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served the Tenants with an N12 notice for personal use, and the Tenants subsequently vacated the rental unit. The Tenants alleged that the Landlord did not move into the rental unit and instead sold the property shortly after the Tenants moved out.
The ruling
The Landlord served the Tenants with an N12 notice in bad faith. The Landlord failed to move into the rental unit and instead sold the property shortly after the Tenants vacated. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $10,893.74, which includes rent differential, moving costs, and general compensation.
