What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant because the Landlord in good faith requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation for at least one year by the Landlord's mother.

The ruling

The Landlord has proven the grounds for termination of the tenancy under section 48(1)(c) of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 as the Landlord's mother genuinely intends to move into the rental unit for at least one year. The tenancy is terminated effective May 30, 2025. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $2,564.25 in compensation for use of the unit from December 1, 2024 to February 3, 2025, and an additional $39.45 per day from February 4, 2025 until the Tenant vacates. The eviction is postponed until May 30, 2025 to provide the Tenant additional time to find alternative accommodations.
