What happened
Tenant applied for orders determining that the Landlord collected or retained money illegally and gave a notice of termination in bad faith.
The ruling
The Tenant's T5 application alleging bad faith N12 notice was dismissed. The Landlord successfully rebutted the presumption of bad faith by providing evidence of changed circumstances. The Tenant failed to prove the Landlord acted in bad faith. The parties agreed to resolve the T1 application, with the Landlord ordered to pay the Tenant $1,185.
