What happened
Tenants applied for an order determining that Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlords served an N12 notice claiming personal use, but the Tenants allege that the Landlords did not actually intend to occupy the unit for at least one year as required.
The ruling
The Board found that the Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlords must pay the Tenants $6,853.00 for general compensation, moving costs, and their application fee. Additionally, the Landlords must pay a $4,800.00 administrative fine to the Board.
