What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord verbally informed the Tenant that the Landlord's daughter would move into the rental unit, and the Tenant vacated as a result. However, the Landlord's daughter did not move in within a reasonable time after the Tenant vacated.

The ruling

The Tenant was able to prove the allegations contained in the application on a balance of probabilities. The Landlord shall pay the Tenant $16,553.00, which includes $16,500.00 for the difference in rent and the application filing fee.
