Landlords are in serious breach of the Act by disconnecting utilities
Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenant because they require the rental unit for personal use by one of the Landlords. The Tenant disputed the Landlords' right to issue the N12 notice, as the lease agreement listed a corporation as the Landlord.
Landlords argued that they were suffering from financial hardship and could not pay the utilities.
Landlord testified that he could no longer afford to pay for the utilities and prioritized paying the mortgage.
Tenant testified that Landlords cut off gas, electricity and water on November 1, 2023.
