What happened

Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant because they require the rental unit for personal use by one of the Landlords. The Tenant disputed the Landlords' right to issue the N12 notice, as the lease agreement listed a corporation as the Landlord.

The ruling

The Landlords' application is dismissed because the Landlords are in serious breach of their responsibilities under the Residential Tenancies Act by disconnecting the utilities in the rental unit. The Landlords are not permitted to evict the Tenant under these circumstances.
