Tenancy End Date
Nov 2024
The Landlords served valid N4 and N12 notices. The Tenants did not void the N4 notice by paying rent arrears. The Landlords have a genuine intent to occupy the unit for their own residential use for at least 1 year. However, considering the Tenants' long-term tenancy, one Tenant's health issues, and the daughter's challenges, the Board is granting a postponement of eviction until November 30, 2024 to allow the Tenants more time to find a new place to live.
Considering the Tenants' long-term tenancy, one Tenant's health issues, and the daughter's challenges
Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the Tenants due to non-payment of rent and the Landlords' good faith requirement of the rental unit for their own residential occupation. The Landlords served valid N4 and N12 notices, but the Tenants disputed the rent arrears amount and claimed a rent abatement for kitchen renovations in 2021.
Landlords require the rental unit in good faith for their own residential occupation for at least one year.
One Landlord retired last year and has no income. Landlords' parents require care, and moving into the rental unit would allow the Landlords to be closer to their parents and provide assistance.
Tenants believe the Landlords' application is brought in bad faith as retaliation for the Tenants' past maintenance requests.
Tenants have lived in the rental unit for 14 years. One Tenant is on disability benefits and has upcoming surgeries. Tenant's daughter has faced challenges and experienced significant weight loss due to stress about the possibility of eviction.
