What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy because she requires the rental unit for her parents-in-law's residential occupation. Tenant challenged the good faith of the application and requested an adjournment due to language barriers and lack of representation, which was denied.

The ruling

The Landlord's application for termination based on personal use was granted. The adjudicator found that the Landlord acted in good faith, intending for her parents-in-law to move from Ottawa to the rental unit. An adjournment request by the Tenant was denied as he had sufficient notice. The tenancy is ordered terminated on November 30, 2025, providing the Tenant a short extension to find new housing.
