No idea about recourse in BC, but in Ontario former tenants have a year after a bad faith eviction to go after landlords for moving costs and a year's worth of rent difference the tenant has to pay at the new location, there may be some other things I'm missing. Unfortunately, I think the max is up to 35k, which sadly may not even cover the cost in loses.l, but better than nothing.
I hope there is something like that there. greedy landlords are a big part of the housing issues we are experiencing. Too many landlords that operate like cowboys in the wild west. They need to be penalized.
We have the same here in BC. That happened to my wife's cousin. Landlord said family was moving in. She found out it was bullshit. He rented it out for more money. She went to the tenancy board and file a complaint. She got a court hearing, the landlord never showed and she was awarded $25,000 plus court fees.
Did the landlord pay though ?
You would expect they'd be in a world of hurt if they ignored a court order.
Just because you win a case doesn't mean the other party well pay. You have to go after them if they don't and it can be a hassle.
Yeah he paid.
