If a landlord evicts a tenant by serving a twelve (12) month notice for the purpose of sale but then fails to sell the property and instead re-rents it, they may be liable. While the law specifically mentions penalties for re-renting after personal use eviction, general rules against abuse of power apply. If the tenant can prove that the reason for eviction was a deceptive tactic to replace them, they can file a claim at the RDSC for compensation for the damages they sustained.
This is general information from the website library. Confirm current rules, fees and property details with the relevant authority before acting.
