What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlords gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlords issued an N12 notice for their daughter to occupy the rental unit, but the daughter never moved in and the property was later advertised for sale.

The ruling

The Landlords must pay the Tenant $53.00, the costs of the application, as the Landlords issued the N12 notice in bad faith. The Tenant did not experience a rent increase in his new accommodation, so no rent differential will be ordered.
