What happened

Tenant appealed a Landlord and Tenant Board order that found the Landlords served a Notice of Termination in bad faith but declined to award any remedy to the Tenant. The Tenant argued this was an error in law.

The ruling

The Divisional Court dismissed the Tenant's appeal, finding no error in law in the Landlord and Tenant Board's decision. The Board's discretionary decisions on remedies, compensation, and costs were upheld. The Landlords were awarded $2,000 in costs for the appeal.
