What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served the Tenant with an N12 notice stating that they in good faith require the rental unit for the residential occupation of their son for a period of one year. The Tenant vacated the unit, but the Landlord's son did not occupy the unit within a reasonable time.

The ruling

The Tenant's application is dismissed. The Landlord served a valid N12 notice, the Tenant vacated the unit, and the Landlord's son occupied the unit within a reasonable time. The Landlord did not act in bad faith when serving the N12 notice.
