What happened
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served an N12 notice on the Tenants, who then vacated the rental unit. The Landlord did not move into the unit and instead listed and sold the property within a year of the Tenants vacating.
The ruling
The Tenants proved the Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith, as the Landlord listed and sold the rental unit within a year of the Tenants vacating, and the Landlord's renovation plans were not finalized at the time of serving the notice. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $22,733, which includes $22,680 in general compensation and the $53 application fee.
