What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy because the property was sold and the Purchaser requires the unit for residential occupation. The Tenant, who is a real estate agent, challenged the good faith of the notice and the validity of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, but provided no evidence to support his claims. The Landlord provided testimony and documentation confirming a genuine real estate transaction and the Purchaser's intent to occupy the entire home.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective November 30, 2025. The Tenant is ordered to pay $1,283.25 in compensation for the period between October 1 and October 29, 2025, plus a daily compensation of $44.25 from October 30, 2025, until he vacates. The Tenant was granted a requested 30-day delay for relief from eviction to find alternative housing.
