What happened

Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave an N12 notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served the N12 notice to terminate the tenancy so he could move into the rental unit, but then re-rented the unit shortly after the Tenants vacated.

The ruling

The Landlord must pay the Tenants $5,587.89, which includes $324 for increased rent, $210.89 for moving expenses, and $5,000 for general compensation, as the Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith.
