What happened

Landlord filed an application to evict Tenants for personal use (N12 notice), intending to occupy the unit with her daughter. Tenants contested, suggesting the Landlord's true intent was to sell the vacant property, citing a previous sale attempt in 2023. The Board found the Landlord's testimony credible and granted the eviction, but postponed it to allow Tenants time to find new housing.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated, and the Tenants must vacate by July 31, 2025. The Tenants are ordered to pay the Landlord $6,524.28, which is compensation for occupying the unit after the N12 termination date, less the rent deposit and interest. A daily compensation of $48.86 is also ordered from May 16, 2025, until they move out.
