What happened

The Landlords applied for termination of the tenancy and an eviction order on the basis that they required the rental unit for their own residential occupation for at least one year. The Landlords explained that their daughter was getting married and would be moving into their current home, necessitating their move to the rental unit. The Tenant contested the application, alleging it was a retaliatory measure for maintenance concerns he had raised previously.

The ruling

The tenancy is terminated effective August 31, 2025. The Landlords' application for personal use was granted as they successfully demonstrated a good faith requirement for the unit due to family restructuring following their daughter's wedding. The Tenant is ordered to pay $3,753.91 for use and occupation of the unit up to the hearing date, after crediting the rent deposit and interest.
