What happened

The Former Tenant filed a T5 application alleging the Landlord served an N12 notice for personal use in bad faith. The Former Tenant claimed that the Landlord's daughter did not move into the unit and that it was instead re-rented as a rooming house. The Landlord maintained that the daughter moved in as intended but later took in roommates for security and financial reasons after feeling stalked by the Former Tenant.

The ruling

The Former Tenant's application is dismissed. The Board found that the Landlord's daughter did move into the rental unit within a reasonable time and continues to reside there. The addition of roommates months later was justified by safety concerns regarding the Former Tenant and did not constitute a bad faith re-renting of the unit.
