Tenant

S.H., M.S., T.P.

What happened

The Tenants applied for a determination that the Landlord served an N13 termination notice in bad faith. The Landlord claimed the unit was to be demolished, leading the Tenants to vacate. However, evidence showed the unit was subsequently re-occupied and listed for sale without any demolition occurring.

The ruling

The Landlord is found to have acted in bad faith by issuing an N13 notice for demolition and then failing to demolish the property. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants a total of $13,890.00, which accounts for the $1,153.50 monthly rent increase the Tenants faced for one year, plus the application filing fee.
