What happened

Tenants requested a review of order LTB-T-088966-24, arguing that the $2,000.00 awarded for general compensation due to a bad faith N12 notice was insufficient. Tenants claimed $31,752.00, citing mental stress and the financial burden of an unplanned move and subsequent home purchase. The Board reviewed the request to determine if there was a serious error in the original adjudicator's discretion regarding the compensation amount.

The ruling

The request to review order LTB-T-088966-24 is denied. The original order, which found the Landlords acted in bad faith and ordered them to pay $2,000.00 in general compensation plus an administrative fine, is confirmed and remains unchanged. The Board found no serious error in the Member's exercise of discretion regarding the amount of compensation.
