What happened
The Landlord applied to evict the Tenant for personal use, intending for their son to occupy the rental unit. The Tenant contested the good faith of the application, citing a defective declaration (not signed by the son) and the Landlord's prior mention of selling the property. The Tenant also requested a significant postponement of the eviction to allow their fiancée to complete her studies.
The ruling
The tenancy is terminated effective June 3, 2025. The Landlord's application for personal use by their son is granted. Despite a defective declaration that was not signed by the son, his credible oral testimony at the hearing was sufficient to establish good faith. The Tenant's request to postpone the eviction was denied. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant one month's rent in compensation by June 3, 2025.
