What happened
Tenants applied for an order determining that the Landlord gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord served the Tenants with an N12 Notice of termination claiming the Landlord required the rental unit for personal use, but the Landlord only lived in the unit for 78 days before listing it for sale.
The ruling
The Landlord must pay the Tenants $12,199.10, which includes $7,924.80 for increased rent and $4,221.30 for moving and storage expenses, as the Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith.
