What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Tenant alleged that the Landlord served him with an N12 notice of termination indicating that the purchaser intended to move into the rental unit, but the rental unit was listed for sale approximately one month after the Tenant vacated.

The ruling

The Tenant proved the allegations contained in the application on a balance of probabilities. The Landlord must pay the Tenant a total of $1,048.00 by August 11, 2024, which includes $1,000.00 for general compensation and $48.00 for the cost of filing the application.
