What happened

The Tenant filed an application alleging the Landlord issued a Notice to End your Tenancy Because the Landlord, a Purchaser or a Family Member Requires the Rental Unit (N12) in bad faith. The N12 stated the Landlord's parents required the unit. After vacating, the Tenant claimed the parents never moved in. The Landlord countered with evidence, including testimony from another tenant in the building and photographs, to prove his parents did occupy the unit. The application was ultimately dismissed.

The ruling

The Tenant's application, claiming a bad faith eviction based on an N12 notice, is dismissed. The adjudicator was satisfied with the evidence presented by the Landlord, including witness testimony from another tenant, which confirmed that the Landlord's parents did move into the rental unit as stated in the notice. The Tenant failed to prove the Landlord acted in bad faith.
