What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord and Purchaser Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Tenants vacated the rental unit after receiving an N12 Notice of Termination, but the Purchaser Landlords did not occupy the unit within a reasonable time.

The ruling

The Tenant proved the requirements under s. 57(1)(b) of the Act. The Landlord and Purchaser Landlords are jointly and severally liable to pay the Tenant $9,249.79, which includes increased rent for 1 year and reasonable moving/storage expenses.
