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 for personal use, and the Tenants vacated the rental unit. However, the Landlord re-rented the unit less than a year after the Tenants moved out.
The ruling
The Landlord must pay the Tenants $26,432.95, which includes $19,560 for increased rent, $1,824.95 for moving expenses, and $5,000 for general compensation, as the Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith.
