What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Tenant vacated the rental unit as a result of the N12 Notice, but the Landlords listed the unit for rent instead of having their child move in.

The ruling

The Board found that the Landlords served the Tenant an N12 Notice in bad faith, as they did not have a genuine intent to have their child move into the rental unit for residential purposes for a period of at least one year, and instead listed the unit for rent. The Board ordered the Landlords to pay the Tenant $4,919.15, which includes a rent differential for 12 months, moving expenses, and general compensation.
