In a RTB case, a landlord applied for judicial review, trying to overturn the decision where he had to pay his former tenant $38,000. The landlord served an eviction notice for landlord’s use and when the tenant moved out, he only used a portion of the unit while re-renting out the rest. The Supreme Court held that “renting out a significant portion of the unit, even temporarily, was inconsistent with the stated purpose in the termination notice and violated the RTA. To meet the statutory requirement, a landlord must use the entire unit as part of their personal living accommodations for at least six months following the termination of the tenancy.”.
