What happened

The tenant applied for an order determining that the purchasers gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The tenant vacated the rental unit on May 15, 2020 after receiving an N12 notice from the landlord's real estate agent, stating the unit was sold and the purchasers required it for their own use. The tenant later discovered the unit was re-rented at a higher monthly rent.

The ruling

The tenant's application is dismissed. The Board found the purchasers did not act in bad faith in serving the N12 notice.
