What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served an N12 notice to terminate the tenancy for the purpose of the purchaser moving in, but the unit was later advertised for rent.

The ruling

The Tenants' application is dismissed. The Landlord provided sufficient evidence to show the N12 notice was served in good faith, as the purchaser genuinely intended to move into the unit when the notice was given.
