What happened

Tenants applied for orders determining that the Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith and substantially interfered with their reasonable enjoyment of the rental unit.

The ruling

The Tenants' T5 application was dismissed as they did not prove the Landlords served a notice of termination under the Act. However, the Tenants' T2 application was granted in part. The Landlords' notice to vacate without a lawful reason substantially interfered with the Tenants' reasonable enjoyment. The Landlords were ordered to pay the Tenants $4,217.46 for rent abatement, rent differential, and moving/storage expenses.
