What happened
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served the Tenants an N12 notice to terminate the tenancy for personal use, and the Tenants vacated the rental unit as a result. The key issues were whether the Landlord moved into the unit within a reasonable time after the Tenants vacated, and whether the Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith.
The ruling
The Tenants proved the Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith. The Landlord must pay the Tenants $10,246.80, which includes $2,250 for increased rent, $948.80 for moving expenses, and $7,000 for general compensation.
