What happened

The Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlords served an N12 notice of termination in bad faith. The Tenants discovered the rental unit advertised for a higher rent shortly after vacating, and alleged the Landlord's son did not reside in the unit for the required period.

The ruling

The Landlords were found to have acted in bad faith. The Tenants are awarded $8,861.26, comprising rent differential for one year, moving expenses, general compensation equivalent to three months of rent, and the application filing fee. The Landlords must pay the total amount by September 16, 2025.
