What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served the Tenant with an N12 Notice of Termination for the Landlord's own use - parent. The Tenant vacated the rental unit, but the Landlord did not move his mother into the unit and instead re-rented it at a higher price.

The ruling

The Tenant proved the Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith. The Landlord did not move his mother into the unit and instead re-rented it at a higher price. The Tenant is entitled to $3,300 in rent abatement, $772.59 for increased hydro bills, and $7,000 in general compensation.
