What happened

Tenants brought a T5 Application claiming the Landlord gave them an N12 notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord had served the N12 notice to move back into the rental unit, but later got a job offer in Vancouver and did not end up moving in.

The ruling

The Landlord is ordered to pay the Tenants $6,314.29, which includes $6,175 for a portion of the increased rent the Tenants incurred, $86.29 for moving expenses, and $53 for the cost of filing the application.
