Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bad faith eviction?
A bad faith eviction occurs when a landlord uses N12 (personal use) or N13 (renovation) as a pretext to remove a tenant, but never actually occupies the unit or completes the claimed renovations. This is illegal and compensable.
How do I prove my landlord evicted me in bad faith?
Evidence includes: the unit being re-rented shortly after you left, seeing the unit listed for rent, the landlord or family member never moving in, renovations never happening, or the unit being used commercially instead of residentially.
What compensation can I get for bad faith eviction?
The LTB can order the landlord to pay: 12 months rent, the difference between your old rent and new rent for up to 12 months, moving expenses, and general damages for distress. Bad faith findings can result in significant awards.
How long will my LTB case take?
Current processing times vary 3-12 months depending on application type and urgency. We work to move your case forward as efficiently as possible.
