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 to terminate the tenancy so the Landlord could occupy the rental unit. The Tenants vacated the unit, but the Landlord listed the unit for sale shortly after.

The ruling

The Landlord served the Tenants with an N12 notice in bad faith, as the Landlord listed the rental unit for sale shortly after the Tenants vacated. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $10,688, which includes $8,400 for increased rent, $1,000 for moving expenses, $1,235 for general compensation, and $53 for the application fee.
