What happened
Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord issued an N12 notice to the Tenant, stating that the Landlord's spouse intended to move into the unit. The Tenant vacated the unit, but the property was listed for sale shortly after. The Landlord claimed financial difficulties due to COVID-19 restrictions affecting his hair salon business as the reason for selling the property.
The ruling
The Tenant proved the Landlord gave the N12 notice in bad faith. The Landlord must pay the Tenant $1,800 for increased rent, $1,380 for moving expenses, and $27,000 for general compensation, for a total of $30,233.
