What happened

The Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlords failed to provide mandatory compensation after serving an N13 notice for renovations. The Landlords argued that the compensation was not owed because they claimed the Tenant moved out due to a separate N5 notice and that the amount was contingent on the duration of vacancy.

The ruling

The Landlords are ordered to pay the Tenant $2,460.00 by August 30, 2025. This amount represents three months of rent compensation required following the issuance of an N13 notice for renovations. The LTB found that the Landlord's issuance of an N5 notice did not void the statutory obligation to pay N13 compensation.
