Tenancy End Date
Feb 2025
The Landlord has proven the grounds for termination of the tenancy. The Tenants must vacate the rental unit on or before February 28, 2025. While the Landlord's desire to regain possession is understandable, the delay balances the interests of the parties given the Tenants' circumstances.
Tenants have children, have lived in the rental unit for a significant amount of time, have connections to the community, and are having difficulty finding alternative accommodation.
Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants because the Landlord in good faith requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation for at least one year by the Landlord's son, Peter Golfinopoulos. The Tenants argued that the Landlord's application was in retaliation for the Tenants' previous T2 application against the Landlord.
Landlord's daughter and son testified about the need for the rental unit for the son's residential occupation due to household conflicts and overcrowding.
Tenants argued the application should be dismissed under sections 83(3)(a) and 83(3)(c) of the Act.
Tenants testified about issues with the Landlord, including N5 notices and unlawful parking charges.
