Tenancy End Date
Apr 2024
The Landlord has proven on a balance of probabilities the grounds for termination of the tenancy and the claim for compensation in the application. The Landlord genuinely intends to move into the rental unit with her daughter and live there for at least one year. The Tenants must move out of the rental unit on or before April 19, 2024. If the unit is not vacated by that date, the Landlord may file the order with the Court Enforcement Office (Sheriff) for enforcement. The Tenants shall pay the Landlord $9,043.79, less any amounts the Tenants have paid the Landlord for rent for the relevant periods.
To balance the Landlord's need to move into more permanent accommodation with her young daughter, and provide the Tenants with a reasonable amount of time to find new living accommodation.
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenants because the Landlord in good faith requires possession of the rental unit for the purpose of residential occupation for at least one year.
Landlord said she and her daughter cannot continue living in their temporary accommodation, which feels like a hotel room. Landlord said it is mentally unhealthy for her and her daughter, and that it is particularly mentally difficult for her to have nowhere to go after her separation.
Tenant suggested that the Landlord's application is retaliatory because the previous N12 notices were 'dismissed'. Tenant said there have been '6 or 7' different applications by the Landlord to evict the Tenants based on N12 notices.
Tenant said the proceedings have had a significant impact on the mental health of his family and have caused great strain. Tenant said that if the tenancy is terminated, he would need until September to find new living accommodation for his family.
