What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Tenant moved out on June 30, 2023 after receiving an N12 notice for the purchaser's own use. However, the rental unit was listed for lease a few months later, indicating the purchaser did not occupy the unit as claimed.

The ruling

The Tenant proved the Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith. The Purchaser Landlord did not occupy the rental unit within a reasonable time after the Tenant vacated. The Purchaser Landlord must pay the Tenant $14,184 for increased rent and general compensation.
