What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlords served an N12 notice of termination for Landlords' own use, and the tenancy was terminated by order dated July 20, 2022. The Tenants moved out by August 31, 2022, and the rental unit was listed for sale and sold in April 2023.

The ruling

The Tenants proved the allegations in their application on a balance of probabilities. The Landlords failed to rebut the presumption of bad faith. The Landlords must pay the Tenants $27,074.79, which includes general compensation, moving expenses, lost wages, and increased housing expenses.
