What happened
Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant because the Landlords required possession of the rental unit for personal use. The Landlords wanted to occupy the entire residential complex, with the Landlords' sister-in-law and her family living in the basement unit.
The ruling
The Landlords' application is dismissed. The Landlords did not establish that they require possession of the rental unit for the purpose of their own residential occupation, as required under the Residential Tenancies Act.
