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 two N12 notices indicating that the Landlord requires the rental unit for his parent's personal residential occupation. The Tenant vacated the rental unit on June 30, 2017, but later discovered that the rental unit was being advertised for sale and rent.

The ruling

The Landlord served N12 notices in bad faith, the Tenant vacated the rental unit as a result, and the Landlord did not have his parents move into the unit. The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $5,100 for the rent differential, $656.28 for moving expenses, $2,000 in damages, and a $5,000 administrative fine.
