The Tenants filed applications alleging the Landlord collected or retained money illegally and gave a notice of termination in bad faith. The Landlord intended to demolish the rental unit and move in, and the Tenants vacated the unit as a result.
The Landlord's communications with the Tenants amounted to a notice of termination under section 50 of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, even though it did not strictly comply with the formal requirements. The Landlord was required to pay the Tenants one month's rent compensation. However, the Landlord did not serve a notice of termination in bad faith, as the Landlord had a genuine intention to demolish the rental unit.
Landlord intended to demolish the rental unit and rebuild, but faced delays in obtaining permits.
Tenants vacated the rental unit on April 30, 2021 in response to the Landlord's notice.
The Landlord failed to compensate the Tenants equal to one month's rent, so the Landlord must pay the Tenants $1,405.00. However, the Landlord did not give a notice of termination in bad faith, so the Tenants' T5 applications are dismissed.
