What happened
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served an N12 notice stating he intended to move into the rental unit, but the evidence showed the Landlord did not actually move in and instead allowed his cousin to occupy the unit.
The ruling
The Tenants proved the Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith, as the Landlord did not actually move into the rental unit after the Tenants vacated. The Landlord must pay the Tenants $35,048, including rent abatement, increased rent, moving expenses, and general compensation.
