Key legal question
Whether the tenancy terminations were abusive because the landlord wanted a higher rent from a new tenant.
Extracted holding
The landlord did not prove that a higher rent could be obtained without being abusive; the terminations were therefore contrary to good faith.
Extracted reasoning
A termination aimed at obtaining a higher rent is valid only if the landlord could lawfully demand a higher rent. The landlord failed to establish a permissible market rent by an adequate set of comparable premises.
