Tenancy End Date
Apr 2024
The Landlord's application is granted. The tenancy is terminated effective April 30, 2024. The Tenant must pay the Landlord $9,876.42, which includes compensation for use of the unit from September 25, 2023 to the termination date, less the rent deposit and interest. If the Tenant does not pay the full amount by April 30, 2024, they will owe interest at 7% annually on the outstanding balance.
The Tenant has three children, one of whom has made a connection with a classmate, and the Tenant would require until the end of March to move out.
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant 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 child.
The Tenant questioned the good faith intentions of the Landlord's son in moving into the rental unit on the basis of the contemporaneous timing to the hot water/renovation email, and the discrepancy of whether the Landlord, or both the Landlord and her child will occupy the unit.
The Tenant testified that when they moved into the rental unit they were "pretty happy" and enjoyed a "good life". It was only after the issues with hot water arose that the Landlord sought to have the Tenant vacate the rental unit.
