T5 — Tenant Application: Notice Given in Bad Faith
The N12/N13 accountability form. If you moved out and the landlord never moved in (or re-listed the unit), this is how you get paid.
⏰ The deadlines
| Time limit | 1 year from the day you moved out |
| Filing fee | $48 online / $53 by mail — waivable |
💵 Compensation owed to you: The rent difference you now pay, for up to 12 months; moving and storage costs; general damages up to 12 months of your old rent; plus possible fines.
💡 What the pros know
- Presumption of bad faith: if within 12 months of your move-out the landlord re-rents, re-lists, or demolishes contrary to the claimed reason, the onus flips to the landlord to prove good faith.
- Evidence: listing screenshots with dates, new-tenant observations, land registry records.
