What happens if a landlord serves an eviction notice for sale but then doesn't sell?

Question

Ali Faizan Syed · Accepted Answer

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.
