What happened
The Tenant applied for a determination that the Landlord served an N12 notice in bad faith. The Tenant vacated the rental unit based on the notice, but the Landlord subsequently re-rented the unit for a higher price within one year. The Landlord claimed his father intended to move in but the evidence showed the unit was gutted for renovations and the father never actually occupied the premises as a primary residence.
The ruling
The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenant $8,879.99 by October 7, 2025. This includes compensation for moving costs, rent differential for a comparable unit, and $3,000.00 for general compensation due to the impact of the bad faith eviction on the Tenant's business and personal life. Additionally, the Landlord must pay an administrative fine of $3,300.00 to the Board due to a blatant disregard for the Act.
