What happened

The Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Tenants vacated the unit on July 31, 2024, following an N12 notice for personal use. However, the Landlords advertised the unit for rent on September 2, 2024, triggerring a presumption of bad faith under the Act. The Landlords failed to attend the hearing to rebut this presumption.

The ruling

The Landlords were ordered to pay the Tenants a total of $21,226.00 by November 18, 2025. This amount includes $20,178.00 in general compensation for bad faith eviction, $1,000.00 for moving expenses, and the $48.00 application fee. The ruling was based on the Landlords advertising the unit for rent shortly after the Tenants moved out and their failure to appear at the hearing.
