Bad Faith Eviction

J.R.

What happened

Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord submitted an email to the Tenant stating he may need to sell the property, but did not serve a formal N12 notice. The Tenant vacated the unit based on the email, but the Board found the email did not amount to a notice of termination under the Act.

The ruling

The Tenant's application is dismissed as the Tenant did not prove the Landlord served a notice of termination under the Act. The Landlord's email to the Tenant did not amount to a notice of termination.
