What happened

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

The ruling

The Landlord has proven on a balance of probabilities that he requires the rental unit for his own residential occupation due to his health issues. The Tenant's concerns about the Landlord's motives are speculative. While the Tenant faces hardship with the eviction, a delay until March 31, 2025 is granted to allow the Tenant to find alternative accommodation.
