The Board finds the Landlord served the N12 notice in bad faith, as the rental unit remained vacant for 3 months after the Tenants vacated, and was then rented to another family instead of the Landlord moving in. The Board orders the Landlord to pay the Tenants $7,207.18 in damages, including $5,159.18 for moving expenses and $2,000 in general damages.
Tenants lived in the rental unit until the Landlord terminated the tenancy by serving an N12, stating she required the unit for personal use. Tenants claim the Landlord served the N12 in bad faith and did not move into the unit as claimed, instead renting it to another family.
Landlord claims she needed the rental unit for herself and moved in with her friend's family, but the evidence shows the unit remained vacant for 3 months.
Tenants vacated the rental unit on June 27, 2022 after being served the N12 notice.
