Eskandarzadeh v. Nate, 2025 BCSC 1236

Bright Law represented the purchasers of a tenanted property in this judicial review. After buying the home, our clients issued a notice to end tenancy for landlord's use but ultimately agreed to end the tenancy by mutual agreement instead. The property required extensive repairs before it was habitable, and the tenant brought a claim alleging that our clients had failed to occupy the unit within a reasonable period.

Success in this matter meant defending our clients against that claim and protecting them from a compensation award where the delay in moving in was the product of genuine, necessary renovations rather than bad faith.
