What happened
The Landlords applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant based on an N12 notice, claiming they required the unit for residential occupation. Before the merits of the application could be heard, the Tenant voluntarily vacated the rental unit. Consequently, the Landlords' application was dismissed as moot because the core controversy—possession of the unit—had already been resolved by the Tenant's departure.
The ruling
The Landlords' application to terminate the tenancy for personal use was dismissed. The Tenant had already vacated the unit voluntarily before the hearing, rendering the legal proceedings moot. Possession of the unit was returned to the Landlords, and the file was closed without further orders for compensation or eviction.
